Condition

This Cibachrome print is in overall very good condition. Although the colors are rich and saturated, they appear to have shifted slightly toward yellow. 'AP' is inscribed in ink in the margin. Under high raking light, a few minor scratches are barely visible overall and are likely a result of processing. The reverse of the print is hinged to a support at each of the corners so that the reverse cannot be fully inspected.
