Condition
This photograph is in generally excellent condition. When examined very closely, a few tiny fibers appear to be caught in the emulsion mostly in the lower half of the photograph. The left and right margin edges are faintly rippled. Although the edition in the margin is '159/250,' '158/250' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
