This early print, on semi-glossy paper and mounted to thin sturdy board, is in generally very good condition. In raking light, several pen-point-sized faint impressions that do not appear to break the emulsion are visible overall. On the reverse of the mount, the numbers '17272P-1062' are written in an unidentified hand in ink. There are fingerprints from handling along the left and right edges on the reverse, and linen tape remnants along the upper and lower edges.
