There are also two small surface scrapes with minor ink loss or ink lifting in the pink at right (at sheet edge center and just above her hair upper right), a round nick with ink loss in her hair at right. A few faint lines of blue ink run the length of the left sheet edge intermittently, with a second shorter line (approx. 3 inches) at lower right (possibly printing imperfections?).
