Unframed.

Paper is slightly toned with a few very soft handling creases, for instance at bottom left and top center. There are some light stains or fingerprints in the margins, for example at bottom left and left center, at the bottom right corner and top right corner. There is a tiny spot of staining in the center of the red arrow. On verso, there is evidence of previous adhesive at the two side edges and bottom edge and the two bottom corners. There are some light stains at bottom right and bottom left perhaps from handling. Overall very good condition.
