Condition
This early print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. As is sometimes typical of Francesca Woodman's lifetime prints, it has been printed slightly asymmetrically on the sheet. In raking light, scattered handling creases are visible, primarily in the left margin and lower left portion of the image. The margin corners are bumped, with some creasing. There is a slight tear in the upper margin and some soiling near the upper left corner. These do not affect the image.
The reverse is lightly soiled.
