Condition

In good condition. The print is uniformly faded, with a more strongly faded line paralell to the lower edge (approx. 7mm into the image). With one circular discoloured spot (approx. Ø 7mm) probably due to an inclusion between the print and the mount and random light spots of retouching. The card measures 44,2 x 32,5 cm and exhibits light surface dirt, occasional light foxing and remnants of discoloured glue along the edges.
