Condition
In very good condition. The print is on sturdy paper and has a semi-glossy surface. A beautiful, rich print.
One crease (approx. 2cm) in the left half slightly above the horizontal centre line. Semi-circular pressure marks (Ø approx. 1cm) in the two lower corners presumably due to an earlier mounting. At the centre of the right edge three very small cracks (approx. 2-3mm) in the emulsion layer with a tiny spot of loss in the emulsion layer.
On the reverse with residue of glue along the edges.
These shortcomings do not compromise the strong qualities of this print.
