Condition
This print, on double-weight semi-glossy paper, is in generally very good to excellent condition. There is a slight wave to the paper in the central portion of the photograph. Upon close examination, a very small matte deposit of indeterminate nature is visible near the upper edge of the image. There is a 2-inch sharp crease in the upper margin. Near the lower left margin edge, there is a small opaque deposit of indeterminate nature. The margin corners are bumped and lightly creased.
On the reverse of the print, 'Duchamp' is typed on the small white paper label.
