Condition: Colors slightly faded from prior mounting, some foxing, remnants from prior backing creating some color transfer, large lower left corner repair affecting the print, a few other repairs barely visible, such as the upper right corner tip or the center lower margin. Very good impression, fair to poor overall condition.

Pictures: Pictures are taken outdoor, in the shade, to reflect true colors, without any enhancements of any kind. The last picture is taken indoor, with a light behind the print, to reveal the exact paper grain, holes if any, or other possible flaws.
