Condition
This photograph is in generally very good condition. Upon very close examination, there is a 1/4-inch linear impression that appears to break the emulsion near the left edge of the image, in the area of the tree. A one-inch scratch in the upper left corner is only visible in high raking light. The paper is gently rippled along the lower edge. The margins and reverse of the print are faintly soiled. There are small yellow and matte-surface deposits of indeterminate nature in the lower margin. There are tape remnants along the edges on the reverse.
