Condition

FS181: The print is in good condition as catalogued. Excessive hinging has caused sheet to buckle slightly and the hinge at center left is slightly pressing through. There is a short, soft semi-circular crease at the lower left sheet edge measuring 1 inch. FS180: There are a few small circular stains in the cheek at right which likely occurred while the print was drying. The hinges are slightly pressing through.
