There are a number of areas of old creasing and buckling throughout the sheet, some of which is integral to the paper manufacture, while other areas are more recent, notably the lower left corner. There are two small holes to the upper left and upper centre of the sheet and some minor staining to the upper half of the left edge. The wash has very slightly faded, however the image is still reasonably strong.
