Condition
This photograph, on paper with a semi-glossy surface and flush-mounted to sturdy board, is in generally very good condition. The following are visible upon close examination in raking light: various small scratches, impressions, scuffs, and creases (the longest of which measures one-inch extending from the upper edge of the image). The above-mentioned condition issues are barely perceptible as they blend into this highly detailed image. There is miniscule edge wear.
On the reverse of the mount are the following notations: 'Top'; 'V'; '6' [circled]; and 'SF-20, GEH, BMA, CAI, CMA, MMA2.' The reverse of the mount is soiled from handling, and there are several abrasions to the upper paper-ply.
