Condition

Fairly good condition; not laid down; affixed to board periodically along the edges. There are a number of small losses and repairs at edges, most of which have been backed with paper. The original sheet has been backed with a board, affixed periodically along the edges, and toned at the edges with gray wash to address losses. This gray wash as extended into the margins of the sheet by approximately 1 1/2 inches around the edges. The sheet appears to be slightly dirty and possibly time stained overall.
