Condition

This print, on semi-glossy medium-weight paper, is in generally very good condition. Upon close examination, a number of soft and sharp handling creases are visible, primarily at the periphery of the image and in the margins. There is minor wear to the margin edges, and the corners are bumped. On the reverse of the print, '1181.4.2' and 'GD546-9' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce faintly.
