Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The photograph is mounted to a fabric-covered board. The print has likely faded slightly. There is a soft crease noted to top left corner. There is scattered minor surface soiling evident. The variations to the surface texture, the fine craquelure throughout, slight undulation to the print, and areas of discoloration on the edges are all inherent to the delicate photo Polaroid process. Framed under Plexiglas.
