Condition
This warm-toned print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. The margin corners are bumped, and the top paper layer at each tip has slightly lifted. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: faint mottling on the surface, which is either a thin transparent deposit of indeterminate nature, or a faint abrasion; and tiny deposits of original retouching overall.
Although this warm print exhibits signs of age and very faint silvering, this print appears to fluoresce when examined under ultraviolet light.
