Condition

This warm-toned early platinum print, on a thin buff-colored debossed mount, is in generally excellent condition. The mount, on the front and on the reverse, is lightly soiled, with age-darkening at the periphery. There is some wear at the edges of the mount, and the corners are bumped, with lifting of the top paper ply. On the reverse, there is a thin paper remnant along the top edge, near which 'T1745' has been written in pencil.
