This print, on single-weight semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, a small oval impression (1/8-inch) is visible at the bottom center of the image. There are a couple of very minor handling creases in the margin. The margin corners are crimped from clips used during processing. On the reverse, the edges are lightly age-darkened. The reverse is numbered 'L-131,' 'A23,' and '78' in unidentified hands in pencil.
