Condition
This chromogenic print is in overall very good condition. The colors remain vibrant and saturated with no apparent fading. Deposits of original retouching that have shifted towards green are visible overall. In high raking light, the following are visible: minor soiling in the upper left quadrant; and linear, hairline scratches overall that do not appear to break the emulsion.
