Condition

The print is in good condition overall. The extreme edge of the left margin appears very slightly shaved at the bottom but the sheet dimensions concur with those recorded in the ULAE book. Discoloration throughout the outer margins and on the reverse comprises mat stain and pale gray foxing along the lower deckle. Light creasing is visible at the lower left margin corner upon close inspection.
