Faint discoloration is present along the edges of the paper. The inscriptions "Fleur-de Lis & Roses 41.49.571" is present on the reverse. Overall this work is in generally very good condition.
Bundles of Wheat: There is bending and loss to all four-corners. Two holes, approximately one-eight of an inch in diameter each, are present on the upper edge; however, this is inherent to the board. There is a random scattering of small, black specks throughout the paper. The colors are vibrant and the medium appears stable. Overall, this work is in generally good condition.
