This oversized print, on semi-glossy paper, is in generally very good condition. In raking light, a number of sharp handling creases are visible along the print's edges. A few of these slightly break the emulsion. At the bottom edge, there is a 1½-inch vertical tear that has been repaired from the reverse with Japanese tissue. The back of the print has a small amount of surface soiling.
