Condition
The seller’s condition report notes light handling wear and localized surface crazing—fine cracking in the glossy emulsion—below Palmer and near the upper-left margin, most visible at an angle under direct light. These details form part of the print’s vintage condition.
What Type I means
Type I (Type One) describes a print made directly from the original camera negative within roughly two years of the exposure. It connects the physical photograph to the period in which the image was taken. The classification concerns the print’s generation and timing, rather than its condition or rarity.
