Condition

The sheet is mounted to the mat with small glycine corners. The sheet is in generally good condition though it is toned overall. There is a darker area visible along the lower edge in the current framing, which actually extends approximately 2 inches to the edge of the sheet. Under the mat, there are darker lines along the left, right, and top edges, most likely from a previous acid mat. Under the mat and not visible in the current framing, all 4 corners have the artist's pinholes. The upper left and lower right corners are bumped and the lower left corner has stains from glue. There is a minor crease along the right side of the lower edge. Otherwise, in good condition.
