Condition

Considering the poor quality of Kraft paper, this piece is in excellent condition. The paper has some small edge tears as well as some vertical creases on the far left section of the paper. The small spots on the paper are probably some type of oil stains and may not clean. I do not recommend mounting the paper at this time.
