Condition

This photogravure, on heavy cream paper, is in generally very good condition. In the margins are the following: a thin band of sunning around the perimeter of the image; a few tiny deposits of indeterminate nature; darkening along the right edge; and a tiny tear, approximately 1/8-inch in length, extending from the upper left margin edge. None of the aforementioned detracts from the image. There is a horizontal linear pattern on the reverse, and overall minor soiling and age-darkening. There is a small tape remnant at the lower center edge.
