This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The reverse of the print is slightly and unevenly darkened, primarily in the center, which does not affect the image. Although this print does not fluoresce when examined under ultraviolet light, the appearance of the photographic paper suggests a later printing date.
