There is restorer's tape attached at intervals along the edges of the reverse. Apart from a small area of paper thinning towards the centre of the right edge and some minor handling marks and spots of surface dirt, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the paper tone is whiter and less grey in the original.
