This gelatin silver print, on semi-gloss single-weight paper trimmed to the image, is in generally very good condition. Visible in raking light are the following: a small crescent-shaped impression at the upper center; scattered soft handling creases; and thin linear impressions. On the reverse, there are two strips of adhesive remnants at the lower corners. The print is hinged to the mat at the upper edge of the reverse. Sold framed.
