Condition
This early print, on creamy, single-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. As is sometimes typical of Francesca Woodman's lifetime prints, it has been printed slightly asymmetrically on the sheet. In raking light, a slight linear crease not breaking the emulsion is visible in the upper portion of the image. There are handling creases in the margins, and the margin edges and corners are bumped. There are pin holes in the upper and lower margins. There is an area of pale grey stray exposure in the lower right margin corner.
