Condition
This slightly warm-toned print, on medium-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally excellent condition. The negative number, 972-8, is visible in the upper margin at the right corner on the front. When examined in raking light, small rippling in the paper is visible in the image throughout. This is not visible when viewing the image under normal conditions. The reverse has a variety of penciled notations: 'Advert.' (underlined), 'BL 249.,' 'JWT Jergens, 972, Oct. 1930,' '1526,' '370-P,' and '3000.370.'
