Condition

The print is in good condition as catalogued. Extremely pale light-stain has slightly darkened the paper tone. The margins have a few soft handling creases, as well as two circular thin spots at top and right, outside of the image and visible only when the print is held up to strong light. Stray graphite marks and very minor surface soiling are also visible in the outer margins.
