Condition

This photograph, on paper with a light surface sheen and mounted to a cream-colored thin board, is in generally excellent condition. Visible in raking light are the following: a scattering of faint retouching throughout; a tiny linear indentation in the top left corner of the image that breaks the emulsion slightly; and 2 surface indentations that do not break the emulsion in the top left and bottom right quadrants of the image. There is light finger soiling along the edges of the mount. On the reverse are various numerical annotations in an unidentified hand in pencil.
