There are a few small deposits of original retouching and a few pinpoint-sized impressions in the upper right quadrant. There is minor edge-wear. The reverse is covered entirely with dry-mounting tissue. There is a small piece of tape along the lower edge with 'ABBO - 05510' in an unidentified hand in pencil. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
