Condition

In very good condition. The print is on sturdy paper and has a glossy surface. With two soft circular pressure marks (Ø 1,5 cm) in the lower two corners presumably due to an earlier mounting visible only in raking light. The two spots of light brown discolouration visible in the catalogue illustration in the upper right quadrant and lower right quadrant towards the right edge appear to be inherent.
