Condition

This print is in generally excellent condition. There are a few deposits of original retouching that are visible under close examination in raking light. In the upper margin corners there are small clamp impressions. There are a few very tiny rust-colored spots in the lower left quadrant, possibly foxing. '99:100:1:59:1' is written in pencil in an unidentified hand on the reverse. When examined under ultraviolet light, this photograph does not appear to fluoresce.
