This platinum print, with a pleasing blue tonality, is in overall excellent condition. There is a nearly indiscernible deposit of retouching on the model's raised arm and there is a tiny fox mark in the underarm area. The debossed mount has a few faint stains, occasional tiny fox-marks, and is slightly yellowed around the perimeter. On the reverse of the mount are tape remains along the upper edge. The estate stamp is numbered '360' in pencil. '779.178 / PO / RG 88.4.4,' '122' (encircled), and '041' (encircled) are also written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse of the mount. There is a small, circular white sticker with typed '19' affixed to the reverse of the mount.
