Condition

This print, on semi-glossy double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. Upon extremely close examination in raking light, a very soft, crescent-shaped crease, not breaking the emulsion, is visible in the lower portion of the image. There is insignificant wear to the margin edges and corners. The estate/copyright stamp on the reverse reads: 'FROM THE ESTATE OF TSENG KWONG CHI' [in a circle] 'COPYRIGHT BY [signed by Muna Tseng] MUNA TSENG DANCE PROJECTS INC.' On the reverse, 'printed 1998' is annotated by Muna Tseng. Also on the reverse are a circle in pencil and a small brown deposit of indeterminate nature near the upper left corner.
