Condition
The board is stable. There are a few small creases in the surface at the extreme upper right corner, and a faint line of frame abrasion along the centre of the lower edge. The areas of visible board are slightly time darkened, but otherwise the colours are fresh throughout. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no evidence of retouching. Overall, this work is in excellent condition.
