Condition

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. The colors are vibrant and saturated, with no apparent fading. There is a gently waviness to the print, primarily in the margin corners. Upon close examination a few light brown deposits, possibly foxing, are visible in the margins. There are a few soft crescent-shaped creases in the margins that do not appear to break the emulsion. There are 2 hinge remnants along the upper edge on the reverse.
