Condition
This vibrant dye-transfer print is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain bright and saturated, with no apparent fading. In the upper half of the image, there are a few long, thin linear impressions that do not appear to break the emulsion and deposits of original retouching. The print is faintly wavy, primarily in the margins. The margin corners are softly bumped.
The reverse is very slightly soiled. The following are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse: 'pg. 105'; '#102'; 'WE 602'; '85-12-074-C'; and 'JL 985-4.'
