Condition

The sheet is in fair conditon. Creases are evident throughout, especially along the right half of the sheet. There is a 3 1/2 inch addition to the sheet along the lower edge; the join is evident below the signature. There is also a strip along the top edge that is lighter than the rest of the sheet; this is likely due to light stain from a precious matting. Framed behind Plexiglas.
