This gelatin silver print with thin margins is in generally very good to excellent condition. Upon close examination under raking light, the following are visible: two sharp creases near the right edge which may break the emulsion; two soft, crescent-shaped handling creases in the lower left; a pinpoint-sized impression in the center portion of the image that does not appear to break the emulsion; and a faint crescent-shaped impression in the lower right corner. Visible in the lower margin is some gentle rippling and one resultant sharp crease. The edges are gently worn and the corners are bumped. The left upper and lower margin corners are peeling slightly.

On the reverse, 'PF137029' and 'ASE260' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil. There is some minor soiling overall.
