This sheet is from a double sided drawing that had been split, the sheet itself is uneven in thickness due to the splitting procedure. The work has been backed with a tissue lining. At the upper left edge approx 5 ½ inches of notebook holes have been sliced off. There are "sparkles" throughout (possibly a remnant from the splitting process), there is minor buckling and some handling grime along the edges.
