Condition
This ferrotyped photograph is on single-weight paper. When viewed in raking light, the pitting that is frequently seen in ferrotyped prints is present here. The print is trimmed flush to the image, and there is very minor incidental wear on the edges and corners. When examined under a blacklight, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
