Condition
This early print, on paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally excellent condition. There is rippling at the left margin edge. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: faint silvering, deposits of original retouching, a few barely-discernible soft handling creases; and faint evidence of fingerprints at the right edge.
The reverse of the print is lightly soiled. 'NB2' and '160' are in an unidentified hand pencil on the reverse.
When this print is examined with ultraviolet light, it does not appear to fluoresce.
