Condition
The print is in good condition with full margins. The paper has toned slightly, with minor surface soiling, and a few tiny, scattered fox marks toward the sheet edges. There is some cockling of the paper inherent to the printing process, but also due to the placement of archival hinges on the verso, at the extreme sheet edges, and some associated soft creases at the lower right and left edges. A small mis-registered area of black ink at the bottom left sheet edge is inherent to the printing process and is not a condition issue. The verso with pale mat stain throughout, some off-printing, and graphite marks.
