Condition
Sheet is in overall good condition apart from 3 in. horizontal tear that extends from the upper part of the left edge going right. Corners of sheet are inserted into mylar pockets. There is some soiling to the sheet: scattered stains and small spots of foxing, smudges and stray marks throughout. More pronounced brown stains across the lower edge. Edges are basically in tact, but irregular (sheet appears to have been cut in this way by the artist).
