This outdoors scene appears to be partially solarized. As is visible in the catalogue illustration, there is a very thin border of tarnish along the scalloped edges of the mat. Also visible in the catalogue illustration are several tiny dark spots on the plate, including on in the upper sky area and one in the foreground. An old seal, possibly original, appears to remain intact. The case is in generally very good condition.
