Condition
Judging this albumen print on a scale of 1 to 10 – a 10 being an albumen print that has deep near-black dark tones and highlights that retain all of their original detail – this print rates a 10. Aside from a faint quarter-inch linear accretion in the upper left corner, this print is in excellent condition. The mount shows very occasional scattered foxing and some minor wear on the edges and corners.
