Condition Report:
This early, unmounted print, on double-weight paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generallyvery good condition. The highlights appear somewhat warm but the print overall exhibits a wide range of tones. The following is visible under close examination: deposits of original retouching; a few superficial scratches; very faint silvering; a fingerprint at the center right edge; and a few sharp creases at the upper center edge that do not appear to break the emulsion. There is minute chipping along the left edge. The upper edge is very gently rippled in areas corresponding to hinges on the reverse.

There is minimal soiling on the reverse.

When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
