Condition

The print is in good condition. Pale time-stain appears at the sheet edges and the colors are down very slightly. There is a pale area of discoloration at the extreme right sheet edge and the verso has a few small skinned areas. Handling creases can be seen in the sheet, mainly by viewing the verso in a raking light. The sheet has been affixed to the front mat with white adhesive tape along the upper and lower sheet edges.
