Condition

This attractive early warm-toned print, on double-weight semi-glossy paper, has a range of gray tones and is in generally very good to excellent condition. The corners are bumped, with a soft crease in the lower left corner and a small crease in the upper right margin corner. In raking light, faint silvering is visible in the darkest areas, as well as a soft and barely noticeable 1 1/2-inch raised linear area at the upper right corner.
