Condition

The photograph and lightbox are in generally excellent condition. There is a 3-and-1/2-inch scratch on the lightbox surface near the tip of the middle finger. Upon very close examination a few areas of white powder deposits of indeterminate nature are visible between the print and the lightbox, primarily near the right edge. The lightbox is in working condition, and, when in use, the color saturation of the photograph remains extremely vibrant.
