Condition

This printing-out-paper print, with its glossy surface and strong tonality, is in generally very good to excellent condition. There is a small tear in the upper right corner of the image that appears to have occurred prior to mounting. The print is mounted to thin cream-colored board. There is a tack hole and a thin strip of yellowed adhesive along the upper edge of the mount. On the reverse of the mount, the following are written in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'DUP2,' 'MOMA DUPE 2002,' 'NY-EA-921,' and '1.69.1816 MOMA' (crossed out).
