Condition
The top edge of the upper left corner is slightly worn. There are two small holes, possibly from nails, about Uruguay in the upper center. Under ultraviolet light, there appears to be a slightly opaque varnish. Certain red pigments fluoresce but this is most likely original. Overall in very good condition.
