Condition
This large, early warm-toned print is in generally excellent condition. The photograph is on double-weight, egg-shell-textured paper with a very slight surface sheen.

The corners of the print are lightly bumped and have small chips in the emulsion.
The back of the mount exhibits light graphite-colored surface soiling overall.
