This photograph, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The print, which is trimmed to the image, is rubbed along its upper edge with 3 resultant tiny losses of emulsion.
On the reverse of the print are a few small light-brown-colored deposits of indeterminate nature.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce ever-so-slightly.
