This print, on semi-glossy double-weight paper, is in generally good to very good condition. Upon close examination are the following: 5 small crescent-shaped creases in the lower left corner; 3 creases in the lower left margin corner, one of which extends into the image; and a number of pin-point-sized impressions that appear to break the emulsion in the upper right quadrant. Also in the upper right quadrant is a small deposit of retouching. The margin corners are bumped.
The reverse of the print is stamped 'Not For Reproduction / For Personal Use Only.' The Magnum copyright stamp on the reverse is dated '1965.' Also on the reverse are the number '10' and the letter 'N' written in pencil.
