Condition

The print is in good condition, the full sheet. The sheet with a slight undulation, probably due to hinging. There is a 1 inch surface scratch near the center lower edge of the sheet. Traces of graphic and surface soiling at the extreme edges of the sheet, consistent with the artist's working method. The verso is hinged intermittently to the backing board. This print is framed.
