Condition
This photograph, on matte-surface double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. The print is trimmed to the image, and the corners are bumped. Upon very close examination, the following are visible: a few tiny, shiny black deposits, likely original retouching, in the upper portion of the image; and 2 tiny, gray, matte adhesions in the lower left corner near the edge. On the reverse of the print, '21' (circled) and 'B' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil. Also on the reverse are 4 small hinge remnants along the upper edge.
