Condition
This photograph is in generally excellent condition. The signature, title, and date in the margin have slightly faded with age. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: a crescent-shaped impression near the upper left edge and a minor impression near the left edge of the image; and several pinpoint-sized impressions and a very minor crease in the lower right quadrant, none of which appear to break the emulsion or detract in any way from this fine print. The following are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse: '25' and '6 [circled].' The archive stamp is annotated with the title and '715' in an unidentified hand in pencil.
