Condition

This early print, on slightly warm-toned paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. As is typical of Woodman's lifetime photographs, it has been printed somewhat askew on the paper. The margin edges are somewhat rubbed, and the upper left and lower right margin corners are creased. When examined in raking light, minor, faint handling creases are visible in the margins.
