This beautifully rendered print is on single-weight paper with a matte surface. The print is very slightly, and pleasingly, warm in tone, and is essentially in excellent condition. When examined closely in raking light, some age-appropriate silvering can be seen in the print's dark areas. On the reverse, the photograph is hinged with paper tape to its backboard. Two small pieces of pressure-sensitive tape are affixed to the two bottom corners of the reverse.
