Condition
This lifetime print is in generally excellent condition. It is trimmed to the image, and there is minor wear to the corners. Upon close examination in raking light, the following are visible: scattered superficial surface scratches; various tiny impressions; 2 small soft creases, in the left and lower right; and a few translucent deposits and one grey deposit of indeterminate nature. None of the scratches, impressions, or creases appear to break the emulsion.
The certificate of authenticity indicates that this print was made by Luigi Ghirri and his printer, Arrigo Ghi circa 1990.
