Condition

This photograph, on paper with a surface sheen and mounted to thick board, is in generally very good condition. The print is trimmed to the image, and the edges are rubbed with tiny losses. Upon close examination, various small, matte deposits of original retouching are visible overall. In the upper left corner, there is a 1/4-inch horizontal impression that does not break the emulsion. The reverse of the mount has darkened with age, and there are 2 small abrasions from previous hinges.
