Condition

This chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain vibrant and strong with no apparent fading. Upon close examination the following are visible: scattered deposits of original retouching; and a few tiny bubbles that probably appeared during the front-mounting process. Minor scratches on the Diasec are only visible in high raking light. None of the aforementioned detracts from the overall fine appearance of the print.
