Condition

Hinge mounted in two places to the upper edge. There are two light brown stains to the upper left and right corners, due to old adhesive tabs. The left edge is somewhat uneven, having been previously removed from an old sketchbook. There are some very minor stains and areas of surface dirt. The medium remains very fresh throughout.
