Condition
This work is in fair condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse at the top to the backing board. There is some variation in tone to the print at the extreme edges from the matting. The silver in the print has oxidized toward the left and in the darker areas. There is some original retouching, mostly around the figure's face.
