The print is in generally very good condition. Upon close examination, the following are visible: a small one-inch scratch in the upper left quadrant, which appears to break the emulsion; and a few soft handling creases in the lower half of the image. There is minor scattered soiling throughout the print and a few handling creases in the margin, some minor edge chipping and the corners are bumped. There is some minor age-darkening in the lower half of the reverse of the print.
