The card has been laid down on another sheet of card. Several large creases to the upper left and lower right corners with minor associated losses have been restored.

There is a light layer of surface dirt. Inspection under UV light reveals retouching to all four corners, in places along the edges as well as to the creases in the upper left and lower right corners. Framed and glazed.
