Condition

This early print, pleasingly warm-toned and on stiff double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. It is printed with thin margins, measuring approximately 1/4-inch along the left, upper, and lower edges, and 1-3/4-inch along the right edge. In raking light, 2 small, faint impressions are visible in the lower left quadrant. On the reverse, the following notations are in pencil: 'PW018'; 'IC-I'; and '8' [circled]. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
