Condition
This photograph, on glossy double-weight Agfa paper, is in generally excellent condition. Upon very close examination in high raking light, the following are visible: a few small matte deposits overall; a 2-inch hairline surface scratch to the right of the sitter; and a one-inch diagonal soft impression that does not break the emulsion in the upper right quadrant. In the central-right portion of the image, a tiny particle is adhered to the surface of the print.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
