Condition

The board is stable. There is a thick layer of milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV light reveals a few areas of fluorescence in places which appear to be retouching. There is a small scuff to the surface at the upper left corner. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a clean.
