Condition

This print is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, some small glossy areas in the upper right portion of the image and a sharp crease in the left margin are visible. The left margin edge is bumped, and the top-paper ply is lifting in two areas. There are some adhesive remains along the upper edge of the margin, and it is slightly rippled. There are adhesive remains along the upper edge on the reverse as well. Also on the reverse, 'C:JPW-19' and 'JW.032.3' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
