Condition Report:
Please note the colours and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

This print is in generally excellent condition. As is typical of Cartier-Bresson's later prints, upon examination in raking light, scattered deposits of original retouching are visible throughout. The lower margin corner tips are gently bumped.

There are 2 hinge remnants along the upper edge on the reverse. 'HCB11304' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
