Condition

The ultra violet light reveals some little loses of pigment in the corners and some small holes probably due to the nails. There is a small scratch of the cardboard in the lower left-hand corner. The exam reveals no retouch nor restoration. It is suggested a light cleansing. The overall conditions are very good.
