Condition

This print, on double-weight, semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. The following is written in pencil in an unidentified hand: 'First Lesson at Truempy ballet school, Berlin, 1930 by Alfred Eisenstaedt;' 'print made in Time Inc. Photo Lab 1992;' and '© Time Warner All Rights Reserved.' The left and right margin edges are gently rippled. A soft crease that does not break the emulsion extends from the signature to the edge of the margin. There are a few faint smudges in the margin.
