Condition

This print is on double-weight warm-toned photographic paper with a very slightly glossy surface. The print is in near-excellent condition. When examined very closely in raking light, some areas of original retouching can be seen. A small number of tiny white specks can be seen in the image: these are due to dust or imperfections on the negative, and are not defects of the print itself. A faint, discreet area of soiling – possibly a fingerprint – is visible at the center of the print's right edge.
