Condition

This photograph, on double-weight paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. Silvering is visible at the print's periphery. The edges are very lightly worn, with attendant minor chipping. The upper left corner is sharply creased 1/4-inch, and there is a smaller sharp crease near the lower right edge. On the reverse of the print is an 'Ashby/Connolly Collection' stamp. Also on the reverse are fingerprints from handling.
