In good condition. Slightly soiled overall, particularly along the outer edges and in the lower half of the image. The lower right corner and the upper right edge each have a small stain. Partially shows studio marks. The corners and edges of the image are slightly rubbed in places. Slight craquelure in the area of the upper right corner of the image. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the aid of a UV light source, and to the best of our knowledge and belief.
