Condition

The print is in good general condition. It has a grey tonality and is printed on thin but stiff white paper. There are two light folds of approx. 2 cm at the lower edge near the right corner that go 1 cm into the image. The print is slightly dusty. There are tiny dark grey dots allover the print mainly in the upper portion of the image. They are not on the print surface but are apparently due to the printing technique.
