Condition
This early ferrotyped print is rubbed at the edges, and there are small losses at the periphery of the print. The edges are bumped, and a tiny portion of the upper left corner tip of of the print is lacking. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: soft and sharp handling creases, 2 of which appear to break the emulsion; horizontal deposits of indeterminate nature, in the upper and lower portions; scratches and indentations that do not appear to break the emulsion; and a small paper remnant near the upper left corner.
