Condition

This photograph is in generally fair to good condition. Foxing is readily visible on the image when examined under raking light. There are crescent-shaped, sharp creases in the lower left quadrant of the image, which do not appear to break the emulsion. Foxing is readily apparent in the margins, especially near the edges. The left and right margins are slightly rippled, and this extends into the image somewhat. The margin corners are bumped. There is foxing overall on the reverse. There are adhesive remnants in each of the corners as well as an abrasion in the lower right corner. The reverse is annotated in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'Print Made in the Time Life Photo Lab.' and 'F-367.' The stamp on the reverse reads as follows: 'Limited Edition Print Issued by: LIFE Gallery of Photography In association with the Estate of Margaret Bourke-White'
