Condition
The sheet is very thin with slightly uneven edges, especially in the upper right quadrant. The sheet has been professionally matted recently. There are a few very minor nicks to the sheet's edge, especially along the right and left edges, and two repaired bumps, one in the upper right corner and one near the lower right corner, both not visible in the current matting. There is a darker band along all four edges, most likely from a previous framing. There is repaired tear that extends the length of the right edge, starting approximately 2 inches from the edge and veering halfway down toward the left.
