En très bon état général. Avec quelques très légers plis au bord supérieur, le bord de gauche très légèrement pali.

In very good general condition. With very light folds parallel to the upper edge. The left edge is minimally faded. The colours go from dark chocolate in the dark areas to light yellow, almost white, in the light areas. Excellent contrasts. With a few very soft folds over the surface which are hardly visible.
