This Polaroid photograph is in excellent condition. Close examination of the sky area reveals a few very faint areas of warm-toned discoloration, which are for the most part scattered amongst the pine boughs and thus difficult to see. There is a faint blue ink mark in the left margin. None of these issues detracts from the generally fine appearance of this lovely print.
