Condition
The sheet is somewhat discolored due to exposure to light and appears to have been cut at some stage in its history with vertical cuts and repairs to the left and right sides of the sheet. The surface is in overall good condition aside for a dark brown stain running along the lower right edge of the sheet, circa 55mm in length. There is an area of black chalk or pencil rubbing to the upper left edge of the sheet and other minor areas of surface dirt throughout.
