Condition
Undulation and toning is visible across the sheet. It appears the piece was re-matted to a larger mat since toning halts as a hard-edged line near the interior edges of the present mat. Areas of foxing throughout, larger areas along the extreme edges that are not visible when framed. There are two repairs to the extreme edges, not visible when framed. Scattered foxing to the recto. When viewed under UV light there are areas that fluoresce around the perimeter of the image. The work is affixed to the mat with four paper corners. Some very light handling marks. There is water damage to the mat along the bottom edge. Framed under glass; some wear to the frame. The paper backing of the frame has been cut along three edges to allow for inspection of the print.
