Condition

Matted and unframed. The sheet is hinged to the backing board at the top. The sheet has darkened over time except for a thin band along all 4 edges possibly due to prior matting. There are 3 hard creases; 1 running vertically and 2 horizontally across the middle of the sheet from where it had once been folded. There is a repair to the middle vertical crease running from the top to the bottom of the sheet. There is a small light water stain in the lower left.
