Condition

The print is in good condition with strong colors, the sheet possibly slightly trimmed (F. & S. cites the sheet size as 1156 by 756 mm). Two indentations at the extreme edge of the bottom sheet and two indentations at the extreme edge of the left side of the sheet, each with associated ink loss and semi-circular creasing; the upper indentation on the left side of the sheet with a 5 mm tear. A soft 160 mm diagonal crease at the bottom right corner. Some soft creasing and undulation to the paper, due to tight hinging on the verso. A few faint surface scuffs in the image and spots of surface soiling at the corners. (A tiny ink loss at the top center of the image in the blue background and traces of stray ink at the left margin.) The verso not examined.
