Condition

Handling creases; two slightly harder creases upper right corner. Repaired tear upper left edge. Two minor repaired tears bottom center edge. Right edge possibly two very well-repaired edges. Faint light stain, extreme edges uneven in color due to glue from when work was once afixed to a since removed mount. Signature possibly faded to light brown and covered with a thin reflective solution seen only under strong direct light.
Verso: remnants of glue, mounting board with attendant slight skinning at extreme edges. Bottom two corners creased. Otherwise good condition.
