Condition

This print, on heavy-weight, semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, the following are visible: scattered deposits of retouching throughout and a very soft crease in the lower right quadrant. There is a graphite line in the lower margin which runs parallel to the image. In the left margin is a small circular deposit of indeterminate nature. The margin edges and corners are gently bumped. On the reverse, the following are written in an unidentified hand in pencil: '1054'; '15.11.112'; and '9065.'
