Condition

This print, on semi-glossy, double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. There are a few pen-point-size deposits in the margin near the edges. Three small, parallel, diagonal creases in the lower left corner appear to break the emulsion. The paper appears very slightly warm in tone overall. The photographer's copyright notations '© 1952, 1980' are in the margin and on the reverse. The paper is slightly more warm in tone along the periphery of the paper on the reverse.
