Condition
This photograph is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, a few small deposits of original retouching are visible. Also visible upon very close examination are 2 small scratches (each measuring approximately 1/4-inch) in the upper right corner and near the lower right edge; neither appears to break the emulsion. There is minor soiling on the reverse of the mount.
