Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. Upon extremely close examination, a tiny chip is visible at the lower left edge of the image. There are a few small yellow deposits--possibly foxing--in the lower right portion of the mount, and a larger, pale-yellow discoloration at the upper left edge of the mount.
On the reverse of the mount, 'inv. #38' and '(c)' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
