Condition
The print is in good condition apart from discoloration throughout due to light-stain, darkest at the mat bevel, and three whitened areas, presumably from a prior hinging. The red pencil signature has almost entirely faded away. Minor imperfections include soft handling creases throughout and time-stain at the extreme upper edge at left.
