Condition
This warm-toned print, on paper with a slightly textured, semi-matte surface, is in generally very good condition. The edges are rubbed, with minor chipping. The corners are bumped. The tonality is slightly lighter at the edges in the lower left corner.

The reverse is soiled, and there are 3 cloth hinge remnants at the top edge.
