Acquired by Nancy Richardson from the above

This flush-mounted early print, on paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally very good condition. There is slight edge wear. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: a few tiny deposits of original retouching on the surface; faint, light scuffing, and tiny indentations that do not break the emulsion. The cream-colored mount exhibits some wear at the edges, as well as faint age-darkening. The corners are bumped, and there are small deposits on the front of the mount. There is light soiling on the reverse of the mount, with adhesive label and cloth tape remains.
