The print is in good condition as catalogued. Creases are comprised of a few soft handling creases in the sheet at top and bottom which are generally inconspicuous. There are several more visible creases in the upper margin and upper sheet corners. The margins have consistent pale foxing, as well as a window of light-stain around the image, darkest at the mat opening. There are three skinned areas on the verso, largest measuring c. 1 1/2 by 1 inch and three remains of adhesive along the upper sheet edge and in the center of the sheet; all are attributable to prior hinging . Pale mat stain is also visible on the verso.
