This early, large-format print is on warm-toned, double-weight paper. It is in generally excellent condition. It is trimmed to the image, and there is very minor wear to each corner. There is faint yellow staining along the right edge, mostly noticeably at the upper right corner, and brown discoloration along the upper left edge. There are a few stains and some scattered soiling on the reverse of the print. These minor condition issues are consistent with handling and age and they do not detract from its overall fine appearance. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
