Condition
This photograph is on double-weight paper with an egg-shell texture and faint surface sheen. In raking light, a small crease in the upper right quadrant is visible. There is very faint silvering along the upper edge of the image. The margin corners are worn and the upper paper-ply is folded back at the tips.
The following numerical notations are written in pencil on the reverse: '38063' (circled); and 'Med G3 f''/20.'
When examined under ultraviolet light, it is difficult to discern if this print appears to fluoresce faintly.
