Condition

This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. There is a crescent-shaped handling crease and a few scuffs in the lower margin. The margin corners are softly bumped and creased, and there is a small abrasion at the lower left corner. The upper and lower margin edges are ever so slightly curled. 'P. 32.' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
