Condition

The print is in good condition, except for tiny inconspicuous fox marks throughout (only visible in unprinted areas upon close inspection). The margins slightly rippled and the hinges pressing through slightly at top. Minor discoloration in the margins comprises pale mat stain, three larger fox marks at bottom, and a few faint areas of staining (possibly from previous adhesive verso). The sheet edges with three tiny tears, several nicks at top, and paper loss at lower left tip, the side margins unevenly trimmed.
