Condition

This early print, on slightly creamy double-weight paper with a slightly glossy surface, is in generally excellent condition. As is sometimes typical of Francesca Woodman's lifetime prints, it has been printed slightly asymmetrically on the sheet. The corners are very slightly bumped, and there is a soft crease in upper left margin corner.
