Condition

This photograph, on lightly textured, double-weight paper, is in generally very good to excellent condition. Silvering is visible, primarily along the left black margin edge. In high raking light, 3 eraserhead-sized raised areas are visible in the lower left quadrant. The margin corners are bumped and creased. At the upper left and right margin edges, there are small clamp impressions. The reverse of the print is appropriately age-darkened at its periphery. The following notations in colored pencil are on the reverse of the print: '10'' Av + 29'' St.;' 'neg # 59;' 'code # II.C.4.;' and 'taken 12/23/35.'
