Condition
Overall in excellent condition. Examined out of the frame (but left attached to mat board). No apparent toning or foxing. Possibly with very light mat burn, but the work was not detached from board in order to preserve condition. Attached to mat board at top of verso with two pieces of hinging tape, and at each side of verso with one piece of hinging tape. Very light rippling of paper due to general handing. No apparent pin holes, rips, abrasions, or losses.
