This gelatin silver print, on semi-gloss double-weight paper with margins, is in generally excellent condition. Only visible in raking light is a pinpoint-sized, raised deposit of indeterminate origin in the center left. In the left margin, there is a tiny deposit of indeterminate origin, not affecting the image in any way. The left and right margin edges are gently rippled. The reverse is very faintly soiled. Sold framed.
