Condition
All four edges of the paper are deckled; however, this is more than likely an inherent characteristic of the paper. Mat burn and discoloration is visible to the edges, particularly to the lower right corner. Pinholes are visible in the top and bottom edges. A black stain is present in the center of the top edge, along with light gray smudging intermittently spread along this edge. Foxing is visible throughout, particularly in the upper and the lower left corners. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
