Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. There are two small, thin scratches that do not appear to break the emulsion in the upper left quadrant of the image. There are also a few tiny scattered impressions.
The photographer's studio stamp on the reverse of the mount reads as follows: 'BERENICE ABBOTT / ABBOT, MAINE 04406 / ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.'
