Condition
This toned print, as is typical of many of the photographer's lifetime prints, is printed slightly asymmetrically on the sheet. It is on double-weight paper with a surface sheen and is in generally very good condition. The toning is uneven, primarily in the margins. The paper has been somewhat roughly trimmed at the lower margin edge, as if with a straight edge. In the upper right margin, there is creasing. This does not affect the print.
The reverse is lightly soiled, and there are two small rust-colored deposits at the upper center and lower center edges.
