Condition

This photograph, on light- to medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. As is sometimes typical of Francesca Woodman's lifetime prints, it has been printed slightly asymmetrically on the sheet. A very small crease which does not appear to break the emulsion, is visible in the upper right quadrant only in raking light. There are 3 tack-holes, several small scuffs, and a small crease that does not appear to break the emulsion in the upper margin. There is a fingerprint in the lower right margin near the corner. The margin edges are slightly curled and there is occasional edge wear.
