Condition
The print has been adhered to the back mat throughout the sheet although this occurred quite a long time ago (possibly in the 1920s.) Two circular losses at extreme upper right and upper left corners are very small. There is tiny speck of dark brown discoloration (rust?) at the upper sheet edge at center. There is occasional minor surface soiling in the lower sheet.
