This blue-toned print is in generally excellent condition. There are some creases in the lower margin and the lower margin corners are slightly bumped. The print is mounted to Foamcore. There are a few scuffs on the artist's silkscreened black window mat. When the mat is lifted, some slight discoloration at the print's edges, particularly the lower edge, is visible. This is likely from the presence of the mat and is not visible when viewing the print under normal conditions. The P.P.O.W. Gallery and Annely Juda Fine Art labels indicate that this print is number 1 from the edition of 5.
