The paper is hinged to mat along the top edge by the verso. Mat burn is present along all four edges. Paper is rippling throughout, but this is more than likely inherent to the paper. Pinholes are visible in the top two corners. A repaired teared is visible in the lower left corner. Additionally, a three-inch repaired tear is present in the center of the right edge approximately 10 1/2-inches from the top edge. Various tears, measuring one-inch to a half-inch in length, are present along the right edge. An approximately half-an-inch area of the upper left edge, located two-inches from the top, is missing. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
