This gelatin silver print, on paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. An overmat is affixed to the reverse of the mount with brown tape along the edges. There is a typed credit label on the overmat. Uneven age-darkening of the overmat is visible at the periphery and there is isolated damp staining – not affecting the photograph – along the lower edge. When examined under ultra-violet light, this print appears to fluoresce somewhat, primarily in the margins where it is covered by the mat.
