This chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. The colors are vibrant and saturated, without any apparent fading. There are two creases each measuring no larger than 3 1/4 inches in the lower portion of the image, which likely occurred prior to or as a result of mounting. In raking light, a tiny matte area is visible in the center portion of the image. None of these are immediately apparent when viewing the print under normal conditions, and they do not detract from the overall fine appearance of the print.
