Condition
Overall very good condition. The sheet is attached to the mat backing at two points along the top edge verso. There are hard creases in the right and lower margins in line with the mat window. There is a 3/4 inch tear in the lower edge two inches from the lower right corner, half of which is visible in the current framing. All four sheet edges are slightly irregular and there is old tape residue along all four edges verso. The sheet with undulation throughout and light surface dirt. The top edge of the sheet with some small nicks and minor tears. Both extreme upper corners with hard creases. Mat stain in all four margins. A few stray spots of foxing in the margins and a few horizontal creases. The sheet is slightly time-stained. The media appear crisp and presents very well overall.
