Condition

This work has been examined under glass. Pinholes are present in all four-corners . Smudging is present throughout the paper; however, this is more than likely inherent to the work. A tear, approximately one-inch in length, is present in the center of the upper edge. A hole, potentially a prior pinhole, approximately one-quarter of an inch in diameter is present in the upper left corner. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
