There is a very thin line of fluorescence towards the lower left edge, possibly pertaining to a scratch in the varnish. There is a pin hole just above the centre of the right edge and one in the same place on the left edge. There are two further pinholes and 3 small holes (no bigger than 5mm in diameter) along the lower edge, one of which has been in-filled. This work is in good overall condition.
