Condition
The print is in very good condition.
The right edge is irregularly trimmed. The four corners with a very soft diagonal flattened fold (approx. 5cm) probably from an earlier mounting. A tiny tear (approx. 1mm) at the upper edge towards the right corner. With two small flattened folds in the lower right corner.
The print is overall uniformly not so contrasty, there is no fading. A beautiful print.
On a tonality scale from 1-10 this print would be a 7 1/2.
