Condition

This gelatin silver print is in generally very good condition. In raking light, the following are visible: a sharp crease near the lower edge of the image, which does not appear to break the emulsion; a few deposits of original retouching; and a sharp crease in the upper margin. The upper left margin corner is creased. On the reverse, the Estate Copyright stamp is dated 19'84' in ink. Also on the reverse, 'RMG# A9412. 062-0' is annotated in an unidentified hand in pencil.
