Condition
Although this print has not been examined out of its frame, it appears to be in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination and in raking light, the following are visible: a few surface scuffs in the upper left corner; a small linear impression that does not break the emulsion along the middle-right edge; and a tiny loss of emulsion in the upper right quadrant.
