This early print is in generally excellent condition. There are a few tiny deposits of retouching in the sky area and a very small matte area in the lower left quadrant. The mount is slightly darkened at the periphery of the print. There are a few scattered and very faint fox marks, primarily at the edges. There are tape remnants at the upper left and right corners and a few scattered and faint stains on the reverse of the mount. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
