Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is minor evidence of wear and handling along the edges, including surface abrasions most notably at the corners and the upper left edge. Under very close inspection, there are a few scattered pinpoint brown accretions. There is a spot accretion along the top edge approximately 8¼ in. from the right. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned spot accretions fluoresce brightly but are not the result of restoration.
