Condition Report
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.
This print is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination under high raking light, scattered tiny deposits of original retouching are visible. There is a 1 1/2-inch linear impression in the upper left which does not appear to break the emulsion. There are pinpoint-sized losses to the emulsion at each corner.
