Presents well with strong gradient. Moderate toning to sheet commensurate with age. Under UV examination, active mold infestation evident throughout margins, (particularly upper left corner) does not appear to impact central image. Minor creasing along left edge of sheet, likely resulting from previous handling. Hinged to mat board on three corners; unable to examine verso of sheet due to mounting.
