Condition

This photograph is generally in excellent condition. When viewed very closely in raking light, a faint ΒΌ-inch s-shaped impression is visible in the lower right corner. Also visible in raking light is some very faint scuffing in the upper right quadrant of the print. The aforementioned is minimal and not immediately apparent. The photograph is mounted to cream-colored board.
