Condition

In good condition except the sheet irregularly trimmed. Discoloration visible in the margins comprises traces of very pale light-stain, a spot of white discoloration at right, a few fox marks at the left sheet edge, and very faint additional foxing (mainly at top and left). There are three tiny tears and a small nick at the lower sheet edge. Some minor creasing is visible in the margins upon close inspection, primarily at lower left and the verso shows scattered pale foxing, occasional soiling and remains of prior hinging (with a few very light associated skinned spots)
