Condition
Both the canvas and cardboard box with newspaper clippings appear to be in very good condition overall. There is extremely light evidence of wear to the corners of the canvas and under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. There is a spot of hairline craquelure to the right of the number 3. The cardboard box also exhibits some wear along the sides and corners, resulting in some minor tears to the tape. The newspaper has discolored slightly with age.
