It is cornered within a securely sealed mat. A slight waviness is visible in the lower corners of the print. Only one other print of this image from the edition of 25 has been offered at auction; print number '2/25' was mounted to linen, and signed and editioned in ink with Avedon's title, copyright, and edition/reproduction limitation stamps on the reverse. The Lumina Fine Photography + Art invoice indicates that this print is number 12 in an edition of 25.
