Le tirage a une surface brillante. Quelques manques d'émulsion aux bords et deux petites parties de changement de couleur au centre du bord gauche. Une pliure d'environ 6,5 cm de long en diagonale dans le coin supérieur gauche qui a fait craquer l'émulsion. Quelques traces d'usage visibles uniquement en forte lumière. The print has a glossy surface. There are a few chips to emulsion at print edges and two small areas of apparent discolouration at the centre of the left print edge. There is one, approx. 6.5cm long, crease running diagonally across the upper left corner, which has cracked the emulsion. A few light handling marks are visible when the print is viewed in a raking light.
