Condition
This photogravure is in generally very good condition. Upon very close examination, 2 tiny nicks are visible near the right edge of the image; these appear to break the tissue but are not immediately apparent. There are 2 small tears in the upper and lower left margin corners, likely where this photogravure was originally affixed to a leaf in Camera Work. There is some light rust-colored discoloration along the lower margin edge.
