Condition

This photograph, on double-weight paper, is in generally very good condition. As is frequently seen with ferrotyped prints, occasional pitting of the glossy surface is visible overall. Scattered surface scratches, likely a result of the ferrotyping process, and deposits of original retouching are also visible upon close examination. In raking light, some soft and sharp handling creases are visible overall, and there is some general wear to the margin edges and corners. 'Abzug 80er' is written in pencil on the reverse.
