This impressive, large photograph is in generally excellent condition. When examined unframed, slight edge wear and chipping is visible. There is a 1/4-inch square chip of the emulsion at the lower right edge that appears to be retouched. A barely discernible 1/4-inch nick in the lower left quadrant breaks the emulsion. A small area of discoloration in the center of the image appears to have been expertly retouched.
