Condition
This print is in generally good condition. Pervasive warm-toned droplet deposits are visible on the front of the mount. The print itself shows lesser evidence of these droplets, which are only visible in lighter portions of the image. The upper edge of the print is slightly raised in tiny areas as a result of the liquid staining. There are two small losses of emulsion along the left edge of the print.
There is a small tack hole along the center lower mount edge. On the reverse of the mount, there is minor evidence of the warm-toned droplets.
