In the upper left quadrant, there is a curvilinear crease approximately 12 inches long that slopes down toward the center of the sheet. There is a minor loss of pigment at the center left edge. There are two minor tears in the upper left corner and three minor tears along the right edge; distance from the upper right corner measuring approximately 3, 13 ½, and 17 inches down the edge. The corners and edges of the sheet are slightly curled upward. Framed under Plexiglas.
