Condition
The card has been hinged to a mount at several places around the perimieter of the verso. The mount is visibly time darkened and stains are visible to the extreme outer edges (mostly corresponding to the hinges on verso). One pinhole is visible at each of the four corners of the card. Meanwhile very slight tears are visible at the extreme top left and bottom right corners. The image itself is in good condtion. The pink sheets at bottom are a little stained from the glue used by the artist. The bottom right edge is lifting very slightly. The sheet is also a little dirty and a few studio stains are present. The work is in good condtiion.
