A few tiny nicks to the central part of the extreme right edge are visible. There are further tiny nicks to the left side of the upper extreme edge and to the top of the right extreme edge. Scattered light horizontal creases to the central part of the left edge and a few further light creases elsewhere, notably to the top part of the work.
