Condition

This chromogenic print is in overall excellent condition. The colors remain rich and saturated, with no signs of fading. The corners are separating slightly from the mount. Upon close examination in raking light, there is an area in the upper right corner of the image that is slightly matte, with an adjacent fingerprint. The mottled area at the lower right is in the negative and is not a flaw of the present print. When viewed at an angle in raking light, a few raised areas on the surface can be seen.
