Condition
The print is in good condition apart from a small area of yellow discoloration in the bottom right corner. The support is in generally good condition except for its outer extremities. The bottom corners of the support are both creased and the bottom left corner stabilized with glue. The extreme sheet edges of the support are time-stained and the support is discolored. Two areas of skinning, presumably from a prior hinging, and a hinge remnant appear on the verso. The verso also features minor surface soiling, an occasional fox mark (concentrated in the upper half of the support) and black ink in the center.
