There are a few faint indentations and scratches in the image visible in racking light only. There is a 1/8 inch accretion in the lower right margin of the print. '48' is written in ink on the reverse of the print. A studio label, printed with the sitter's name, is affixed to the reverse. The credit stamp on the reverse reads 'PHOTOGRAPHY BY FRANCESCO SCAVULLO'.
