Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The card has discolored very lightly with age. There is light evidence of handling along the top edge. The colors are bright and fresh. Upon close inspection, pinpoint media accretions are visible. The card rests freely on a shadow box which is encased in a Plexiglas covering, which exhibits light signs of wear.
