The margins with very faint mat stain (slight discoloration), and an occasional soft handling crease. There is a 1 ¾ inch crease extending from the lower left margin slightly into the printed image. The verso with remains of old backing in the margins and with related skinning at left verso. A beautiful example of this rare and iconic Dow woodcut subject, displaying excellent color saturation.
