Condition

This ferrotyped photograph is in generally excellent condition. When examined in raking light, characteristics that are typical of ferrotyping, mainly striations and a few fingerprints in the image and margins, are faintly visible. These do not detract from the overall attractive appearance of this print. The paper is gently rippled overall.
