This work appears to be in very good condition overall and was not examined outside of the frame. The sheet appears to be hinged intermittently along each edge. There is faint discoloration at the extreme edges. Upon close examination, there is a very tiny nick and two tiny fibrous accretions to the extreme lower left edge which are only visible under close examination. Upon very close inspection, two soft diagonal creases are visible to the upper left and lower right corners.
