This print is in generally excellent condition. The corners are lightly bumped, and the left margin edge of the print is slightly rippled. On the top left corner, there is a faint crack in the emulsion measuring no larger than 1/8-inch. There are three pencil-point-sized abrasions at the upper margin edge that do not affect the image.
