Hinge mounted to a modern mount. There is evidence of minor surface dirt throughout, an old repaired tear to the right half of the lower edge and an old crease to the lower right corner. There are two small brown stains, one to the upper left and the one to the upper right corner. The pen and brown ink inscription and drawings to the verso shows through in the upper right quarter, though this does not distract from the drawing to the verso. Sold unframed.
