Very good condition. Watermark near center of top edge. Card has mat stain near perimeter where pigment has not been applied. A few minor instances of pigment shrinkage at center of sheet and one instance near center of left edge. Several pindot-size white spots at center of sheet and in lower right quadrant, but these appear to be inherent to artist's process. Colors are bright and fresh.
