This print is in generally excellent condition. The color remains vibrant and saturated, with no apparent fading. There is a sharp handling crease in the left margin, and a small, linear impression in the upper right portion of the image that does not appear to break the emulsion.
There is some wear and chipping to the margin edges, and the margin corners are bumped.
On the reverse, 'EG. 6699' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
