Condition

The print is in good condition as catalogued. The colors have slightly faded due to exposure to light which has also slightly darkened the paper tone. The sheet edges have further darkened over time. The verso is discolored with mottled mat stain, foxing in the upper sheet (not visible on the recto) and occasional soiling.
