Condition
This unique photogram, on double-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally very good condition. Upon very close examination, the following are visible: a 3-inch crease near the upper edge; and several small, faint, linear creases near the lower edge. While these may break the emulsion, they are generally barely discernible and do not detract from the overall fine appearance of this unique object.
The photogram has no margins, and there is some minor chipping and wear along the corners and edges. On the reverse, 'AS 335' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
