Neutral toned print on glossy, ferrotyped, mid-weight paper, trimmed to edges. Few unobtrusive and typical ferrotyping flaws -- very fine scratches, specks of retouching etc.; tiny ding in upper right quadrant; few minute edge chips -- all visible in a raking light or not affecting image significantly. A wonderful image, in very good condition. Sold matted and unframed. Examined under blacklight and highlights fluoresced slightly, dating the print to after 1955.
