Condition

Board is stable. There is some fluorescence at upper and lower edges (mainly on extremes), otherwise there does not appear to be any traces of retouching visible under UV light examination. There is a minor spot of paint loss to a nut in the right bowl. There is some light rubbing on the extreme edges, mainly to the upper right and lower edge, due to previous mounting. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
