Condition

This print, on double-weight paper, is in generally very good condition. The print is affixed to the mount with adhesive in the upper corners. In the upper central area of the print, there are two sharp creases—a sharp, one-inch vertical crease with an additional tiny horizontal crease above it. Evidence of handling, with some soft, extremely faint undulations in the lower left of the print, is visible in raking light. There is a tiny nick in the right margin edge that does not affect the image.
