Condition
Fairly good condition. Taped to the window mount around all 4 edges. The sheet is darkened and there is mottled pattern of discoloration that is faintly visible possibly caused by exposure to a previous acidic backing. A few pinholes around the edges. A few foxmarks. There is a piece of tape in the upper right corner of the reverse which has caused a corresponding patch of lighter paper to appear on the recto. Otherwise, fine.
