Condition
This photograph is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination in raking light are the following: a small sharp crease that does not appear to break the emulsion in the lower right corner of the image; and several matte areas in the upper portion of the image.
On the reverse of the print along the upper edge are 2 paper tape hinge remnants.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
