A pin hole to the upper left corner of the sheet has enlarged somewhat, now measuring 1/8 in. There is a minor vertical crease to the paper at the bottom edge and a horizontal one to the center of the left edge. The printers' ink on the reverse of the sheet is visible on the recto. The work is in good condition.
