Condition
The print is in generally good condition, with full margins and fresh colors. Two printing imperfections, one in the bottom half of the heart measuring13 inches, and the second in the center of the heart measuring 1 inch. Creases throughout; one in the center of the heart and a concentration in the lower right corner with associated surface soiling. The sheet curls at the edges, possibly due to prolonged storage in a tube. Additional minor imperfections include unobtrusive scuff marks in the red heart only visible under raking light. *(The verso unexamined since the print is tipped).
