Condition
This print is on double-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface. The print has a white border, measuring ¼ to ¾ inches. 'Texas' has been written in the left margin in ink. The print is in essentially excellent condition. Very close examination in raking light reveals two small creases along the center right edge of the image --- these are not obtrusive. When examined under a black light, this print does not appear to glow.
