Condition:

Neutral toned print on semi-gloss paper with margins, flush-mounted to linen. Extremely light, minor retouching, barely visible; extremely light silver mirroring, concentrated at the edges, all visible only under raking light. Staining on the reverse of the flush-mount, all on the flush-mount, not affecting the image. While the above mentioned issues are apparent upon close observation, they are not immediately visible and do not undermine the overwhelmingly fine appearance of this print. This work was conserved by Paul Messier's studio in 2022. Please contact [email protected] for the conservator's report.
