Condition
This print, on semi-glossy double-weight paper, is in generally good to very good condition. Upon close examination, a number of soft and sharp handling and linear creases are visible overall, some of which appear to break the emulsion. There is edge chipping along the left margin edge.
On the reverse of the print, the following is written in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'Mme Cohen, 9 Rue [ ], Paris 9e., Priere de Return.'
The reverse is lightly soiled and there are stray deposits of blue ink in the lower right corner.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
