Renger-Patzsch, A. 1928 pl. 19.

The print has a semi-glossy surface and is on stiff paper which has a yellowish tone. There is occasional, slight silvering in the dark areas and slight foxing at the lower and left edges. There is very slight discolouration at the upper and left edges due to a previous window mount. There is one, very small spot of emulsion loss at the upper left corner. There are remnants of a mounting at the lower two corners on the reverse and the print is affixed to its current mount along the upper edge. Overall condition is very good.
