This gelatin silver print with margins is in generally excellent condition. Upon examination under raking light, some nearly-imperceptible silvering is visible in the darkest areas. There are sharp creases across the upper left, right, and lower right margin corners that may break the emulsion. The left and right margin edges are gently rippled.

On the reverse '[8]' and 'GB-14-A3' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
