Condition
This print, on double-weight Agfa paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. The margin is trimmed unevenly along the left edge, and there is no lower margin. A few deposits of original retouching are visible overall in raking light. There is a sharp crescent-shaped handling crease in the upper left quadrant, which does not appear to break the emulsion. The margin corners are gently bumped, and there are some deposits of indeterminate nature in the right margin. The lower edge of the image is rubbed.
There is some minor soiling on the reverse.
