This luminous print is in excellent condition. When examined closely in raking light, some fine lines can be seen in the print's glossy surface – this is not unusual for hand-coated Polaroid prints. Masking-tape remains are present on the top edge and lower left corner of the reverse. These do not show through to the front.
