There are a few old repairs to slits in the canvas which are located as follows: the first is located in the center panel 5 inches from the top and 8 inches from the right; the second is located in the right panel 7 1/2 inches from the top and 7 1/2 inches from the right; the next is located in the right panel 7 1/2 inches from the top and 5 1/2 inches from the right and the last is located in the right panel 7 1/2 inches from the top and 2 1/2 inches from the right.
