Condition

This early print, on a slightly warm, somewhat matte-surface double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. It has a range of gray tones. The margin edges are slightly rubbed, and there are adhesive remains on the lower portion of the reverse that do not affect the print. The original mat is age-darkened.
