This early print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. There is a 1-and-1/2-inch crease in the lower left corner, which breaks the emulsion. There is very light graphite-colored soiling on the reverse of the print. When examined under ultrviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
