This print is in generally very good to excellent condition. In raking light, 2 small mounting bubbles are visible in the upper left and lower right corners. Also visible upon close examination are occasional small, light, matte deposits, likely original retouching. Near the right edge of the image in a cloud, there is a pin-point-sized adhesion of indeterminate nature.
