Condition
Silvering is visible along all four sides but notably on the left side, and in an arc across the central area of the image. Print surface is in very good condition. A small (c. 2mm) circular rust-coloured stain lies on the upper left edge of the image, mainly in the margin, and is visible also from the reverse. There are clear indentations very close to each corner from a previous method of display.
