This early photograph has been printed asymmetrically on double-weight paper with a slight surface sheen. It is in generally good condition. There is slight rippling at the upper and lower margin edges of the paper, wear at the edges and handling creases and light soiling, including small gray deposits of indeterminate nature, in the right and lower margins. When examined in high raking light, the following are visible: two faint, thin scratches in the upper right quadrant that do not appear to break the emulsion; and a transparent deposit of indeterminate nature at the left side of the image. There is light soiling on the reverse of the print.
