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 edges of the sheet, one along the left margin the other at the lower right corner. Some moderate areas of thinning throughout the sheet with some skinning evident verso, likely due in part to a previous mounting/backing attempt that has been partially removed. Adhesive remnants as well as some paper vestiges along the extreme verso sheet edges, likely due to previous mounting. 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. An unidentified light blue collector's mark (Lugt 352a), verso lower left. Unframed.
