This print with black edges, on double-weight paper with a semi-matte surface, is in generally very good condition. The edges and corners are rubbed, with small losses of emulsion. There is a thumbtack hole and circular impression in the lower left corner. In raking light, small creases that do not appear to break the emulsion are visible in the lower right quadrant.
