Condition
This ferrotyped gelatin silver print with a rich tonality is in overall excellent condition. As is typical of the ferrotyping process, a slight unevenness of the generally glossy surface and minor pitting are visible in raking light. Upon very close examination, the following are visible: faint handling creases and 2 deposits of original retouching, to the right of the subject's shoulder in the door's glass and at the center left in the stone wall. 'PF123307,' '6-16,' '1992.1098,' and '280' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
