*Please bear in mind that we are not professional photography dealers when reading the following description. For this reason our pictures ARE the description. If you need more please ask.

Photo is in great condition. It has been kept in a sturdy folio since obtained and has never been framed.

There are very very light crease marks that in our opinion take nothing away from the photo. There are also about 5 tiny pricks to the photo. We only noticed them when we were taking closeup shots of the sognature on the back. They are so small that you honestly cannot even see them on the pavement in the photo unless you hold it to your face. Once framed we’re pretty sure these little things will go totally unperceived.

We will ship flat in the large sturdy folio and will reinforce in cardboard to prevent any damage in shipping. It will also ship fully insured.
