Condition
This print is in generally very good to excellent condition. Upon close examination in raking light, a small linear impression and several tiny pin-point-sized impressions are visible in the lower left quadrant. Scattered deposits of original retouching are visible mostly in the right portion of the image. There are sharp creases across the upper and lower left corners of the print, and each margin corner is softly bumped. There is a tiny crease at the center right margin edge which extends very slightly into the image.
The perimeter of the reverse is faintly yellowed.
