Condition
The print is generally in good condition, with margins (unevenly trimmed). The side sheet edges have six short tears (one at left, the remaining at right) that are well away from the image and contained to the margins. The verso has scattered creasing throughout, showing through to the recto mainly at the margins, and skinning along the sheet edges and intermittently across the sheet (most likely from previous conservation).
