There is a 1 cm tear to the right edge (approx 20cm from the upper right corner), and three smaller nicks to the same edge. There is also a tiny pinhole loss to the centre of the lower edge. None of these are visible when framed. Apart from some mild time-staining to the edges, this work remains in good original condition.
