Condition

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination, the following are visible in the lower right quadrant: a 1/4-inch horizontal scratch that does not break the emulsion and a 1/2-inch linear scuff. The tips of the lower print corners are ever-so-slightly bumped.
