Condition

This print, on medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. When examined in raking light, silvering and scattered deposits of original retouching are visible. The corners of the margin are very lightly bumped with minute emulsion loss. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
