Condition
The photography is slightly too light
The sheet is stuck to the mount by the left edge and by the upper and lower right corners. The sheet has slighlty darkened and it is slightly dirty in places.
Some traces of an old mount are visible along the edges especially along the left egde (visible on the photography)
Two very tiny tears are restored along the upper edge and we can see a very small restoration on the upper right corner
Very few minor foxings are scattered over the surface
