This Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. In high raking light, fingerprints and small surface scuffs or scratches, which do not break the emulsion, are visible overall. Near the lower edge of the image there is a 2-inch horizontal surface scratch that appears to break the emulsion slightly. The print edges are curling slightly. 'William Wegman' is annotated in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse. There are small remains of paper tape in each of the corners on the reverse.
