Condition
This print is in generally very good condition. The print exhibits slight waviness. There is a tiny blue linear deposit, possibly ink or crayon, at the left margin edge. This was likely a mark made as a trimming guide. When examine in raking light, the following are visible: small creasing, not breaking the emulsion, mostly at the right and left sides and in the margins; and a deposit of retouching at the upper right side of the print.
The number on the reverse, written by the photographer in ink, is '488/17-TGF 01-.' It is annotated 'printed by CHOI.'
