This print is in generally excellent condition. As is common with Peter Beard's photographs as a result of his working process, there are a few scuffs on the image as well as stray ink, fingerprints and minor soiling in the margins. The upper and lower margins are rippled with several attendant sharp creases. There are framer's notations in red ink and in pencil in the margins. There are 2 pieces of tape and a few abrasions on the reverse. There is an illegible notation in pencil in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
