Condition
This print is in generally very good condition. It has recently undergone conservation, primarily to address small losses, and a full treatment report is available upon request. Visible upon close examination in the lower left quadrant is a small (one-inch) starburst-shaped indentation. This disturbance is not immediately apparent and does not detract from the overall fine print quality.
