Condition
This early print is on double-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface. It is in generally very good condition. Three circular areas in the upper left quadrant appear to be in the negative or a feature of when this print was made, rather than condition issues.
When examined closely in high raking light, a sharp 1/2-inch crescent-shaped crease that appears to break the emulsion is visible near the right edge. A very small, faint linear crease is also visible upon close inspection in the central portion of the image. None of the aforementioned detracts from the generally fine appearance of this early print.
