Notes

Photograph has a circular stain due to the use of BlueTack as an adhesive. It has some small scratches at the bottom which have removed the emulsion and a small crease on the top, left hand side. The rear also shows the remains from tape use, which is no longer in place. The bottom edge has been cut, creating a curved edge.
