Condition

This pigment print is in overall very good condition. Upon very close examination there is minor edge wear, including a small loss along the lower right edge which has been expertly retouched. In raking a few superficial scratches are visible. There is a pinpoint size nick in the lower left quadrant. None of the above detracts in anyway from this fine print. The photograph is lifting from the mount at the corners. There is scattered foxing on the lower part of the mount, which does not appear to affect the print. The corners of the mount are creased and there is some soiling on the reverse.
