Condition
The board is sound. There appear to be some oxidation spots to the left and right of the chimney that fluoresce under UV light. Further spots fluoresce in the upper right corner between the tree tops and there are some tiny dots of retouching along the upper edge to repair frame abrasion. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
