Condition
This print is in generally very good condition. A few scattered green-colored deposits, likely original retouching, are visible upon close examination. In raking light, the following are visible: a few soft crescent-shaped creases that do not appear to break the emulsion, primarily in the center portion of the image; a glossy deposit; and a very tiny loss of emulsion in the center of the image.
On the reverse is a cello-tape remnant at the upper edge.
