Condition Report:
This ferrotyped gelatin silver print is in generally very good condition. As is typical with ferrotyped prints, there are scattered faint scratches, pitting, and some handling creases. Impressions made from handwriting on the reverse are visible on the front throughout. The corners are bumped. The reverse is soiled. There are copious reproduction guides and notations in ink, graphite, and crayon on the reverse in unidentified hands, including 'Margaret Bourke-White at work on the roof of the Chrysler Building, tallest in the world, New York' in ink.
