Print presents well. The condition of the work is consistent with its age. Mild toning to the sheet appearing even throughout. Mild accretions primarily evident along extreme edges contributing to an overall deepening in tone. Two small losses to the extreme right edge of the sheet, one along the margin the other at the lower corner. Some areas of thinning throughout the sheet though the majority are evident along the margins/extreme edges. Adhesive remnants as well as some paper vestiges along the extreme verso sheet edge, likely due to previous mounting. A few small (1/4" at most) tears along extreme edges, all appear to be (perhaps unintentionally) repaired by the previous mounting attempts. Vestiges of hinges in corners. Sheet appears to have been trimmed as evidenced by the slight loss of the publisher's seal at the lower left. Unframed.
