There is slight discolouration to the upper edge and some faint time staining to all four edges, probably due to the mount. There are some tape remnants along the upper edge of the verso. Apart from some minor studio dirt, this work is in good condition. Colours: The paper tone is more subtle and the colours are overall lighter in the original.
