Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, most noticeably at the upper right and left corners. Under very close inspection, there is a pinpoint spot of loss between the second and third columns of text in the lower right corner. Also under very close inspection, there are two pinpoint white spot accretions. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, scattered areas at the very edges and turning edges of the canvas fluoresce lightly from handling, but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Unframed.
