This photogravure is in generally excellent condition. Upon very close inspection, a 1-3/4-inch crease is visible in the lower left quadrant.
The photogravure is affixed along the left edge to the original leaf, on which offsetting is visible. There are small tears and losses along edges of the leaf and the corners are rounded, not affecting the print. There is some light soiling and some minor abrasions on the reverse of the leaf. 'AS/1028' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
