Condition

Laid down. There are a couple of small tears, one located at the left margin in the middle and another located at the upper margin towards the left side. The upper margin has suffered some condition problems and is quite jagged (the sheet is supported by the backing paper). Some light staining and overall surface dirt but in general the pen and ink and chalk are still strong and visible and the scene still lively and animated.
