Condition Report:
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings. This ferrotyped print, on single-weight paper with thin margins, is in generally good condition. There are two rust-colored spots of indeterminate nature in the upper right quadrant; these appear gray in the illustration online, please contact the department for additional images. As is typical of the ferrotyping process, the following are visible when examining the print in raking light: scattered pitting, impressions, and fingerprints on the glossy surface. Handling creases are also visible throughout in raking light. On the reverse are 2 abrasions, one of which intruded upon the Harry Shunk stamp. There are adhesive remnants along the upper and lower edges. The numerical notations in an unidentified hand in pencil are as follows: '411 /25c c 11 83'; '7 to 8 11/16 pos D.M.'; and '1242.'
