The tones are generally strong and rich. There is an 11-inch diagonal line drawn in ink across the images. Along the upper edge of the second image, partial, indistinct writting is visible. There is a tiny loss of emulsion along the lower left edge. The upper right and lower corners are creased where the print is tipped to the mount.
