This early color carbro print is in generally excellent condition. This print is on an unevenly-trimmed modern white mount. There are remnants of the original brown paper mounting tape at the top, left, and lower edges. There are a few pinpoint areas of color that are randomly scattered on the print's surface. These dots of color--often cyan, magenta, and/or yellow, and in this case, green and purple--are typical of the carbro process. It is believed that there are only 2 prints of this image.
