Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling, primarily along the edges. There is a 1/8 area to the right of the exclamation point, which appears to be an inconsistency in the paint layer and does not fluoresce under Ultraviolet inspection. Under further Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
