Condition

This print is in very good general condition. The edges are irregularly cut. With a few very light handling marks, a light trace of a scratch of approx. 5 cm in the centre of the upper portion of the image, a flattened soft fold going from the centre of the upper edge towards the right edge and a tiny slightly discoloured line of approx. 2 cm parallel to the upper edge at the centre, all of which do not derogate the general good quality of the print.
