Condition
This early print, on medium-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally very good condition. When examined closely in raking light, there are several extremely faint, horizontal scratches that are barely visible and do not appear to break the emulsion in the upper portion of the image. Additionally, there is a small, crescent-shaped handling crease, also not breaking the emulsion, in the upper right edge of the image.
There is light soiling on the reverse of the print. The number '101.3' is written in pencil near the lower left corner.
