Condition: B

A crisp impression and original outline color with later color in the cartouche and a couple of minor creases adjacent to the centerfold. There are several short cracks and one 2" crack at left caused by the oxidation of the green pigment, all of which have been closed on verso with archival materials. There are a couple of tiny holes associated with the 2" crack at left, but no loss of image.
