The left edge is uneven with associated tiny nicks at intermittent intervals. There is a 2cm. tear running vertically from the centre of the extreme right edge. Apart from some minor creases at intermittent intervals and some faint studio dirt mainly to the lower half of the sheet, this work is in good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is slightly brighter in the original. The pencil lines are fairly accurate.
