Condition

This early ferrotyped print, on double-weight Agfa paper, is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, occasional pitting and surface scuffs and scratches are visible overall as is typical of the ferrotyping process. Also visible in raking light are a few small, soft crescent-shaped creases, primarily in the left portion of the image.
