Condition
The print is generally in good condition. In 2004, a professional restorer of works on paper removed ATG tape from the reverse and lightly flattened the paper. The background color is very slightly attenuated and the un-inked areas, primarily along the sheet edges, have yellowed significantly over time. Darker discoloration extends along the perimeter of the sheet. A scuff of soiling is visible along the upper left sheet edge. There are small paper losses along the edges of the sheet - mostly inconspicuous except one at lower right measures about 2 mm deep. The verso of the sheet has been discolored by uneven mat burn throughout.
