Condition
This photograph, on rich matte-surface paper, is in generally excellent condition. The print is very slightly warm-toned along the right and lower edges. Upon close examination, a few tiny deposits of original retouching are visible.
The photograph is mounted to thin buff-colored card. Foxing and light soiling on the mount are visible but do not appear to affect the print. The mount is sunned at the print's periphery and at the signature, title, annotation, and date. There are tack-holes at the upper corners of the mount, and the upper and lower left mount corners are creased. Striations on the reverse of the mount suggest previous exposure to liquid or adhesive.
