The sheet has been laid on Japanese paper, it has discoloured slightly in line with age. There is a stamp and a pencil annotation in the margin in the lower left corner and further annotations on the reverse which are visible in the lower right corner of the margin. There are a few small repaired tears in the left, right and upper margins and two larger ones below the centre of the right edge and to the right of the top left corner. A small piece of hinging tape has been placed over each of the larger tears. There are a couple of very small losses to the paper, one in the white background above the centre and another at the top of the diagonally placed iron girders in the upper left. A few faint creases are visible in places, such as the right arm of the figure on the right.
