Condition
This contact print, on double-weight paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The edges are rubbed, with tiny losses. The corners are bumped, and the lower right corner is creased. In raking light, the following are visible: silvering in the black margins; and a very soft, barely noticeable crease in the lower portion of the print. There are crimp marks in the four corners, a result of processing.
When examined with ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
