In overall fine to good condition. The sheet is affixed to the undermat alongside the top outer edge via what seems to be a long, thin band of white paper tape. The sheet is toned. With several marks of mat staining around the image. The image itself is on a sheet of paper (5 3/4 x 5 1/8 in.) laid down to a larger paper. Remnants of ink on the right margin. With minor acidic marks along the bottom outer edge (covered by the mat). Small diagonal crease in the paper at center left (mostly goes through the support paper than the image itself). Small creases along the top outer edge too (most likely a result from lifting the paper up, as it is hinged very tightly). The verso presents well. It is also toned, with a small, circular grease mark at center right (does not see-through). See Specialist's pictures for more details.
Framed: 14 x 12 x 0 1/2 in.
