This print is in generally excellent condition. Upon close inspection, scattered deposits of original retouching are visible throughout, most notably in 2 horizontal lines running across the center of the print. This does not detract from the overall fine appearance of this print. There is some minor edge chipping.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
