Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. Upon very close inspection in raking light, minuscule stress cracks are visible, primarily in the upper portion of the image. These do not detract from the overall fine appearance of this print and are not visible when viewing the print under normal conditions.
On the reverse, '2' [circled] is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
