There are scattered rust-colored stains on the reverse. In addition to the Magnum copyright stamp, there is a stamp that reads 'THIS IS AN ARCHIVAL PRINT PROCESSED FOR MAXIMUM PERMANENCE AND STABILITY.' The numbers '9' and '156/35' are written in an unidentified hand on the reverse.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this photograph does not appear to fluoresce.
