A nice impression issued folding with light toning and dampstaining along the horizontal fold. There is a small hole at bottom right with a small amount of image loss (the "u" in "Phunon") that has been infilled with archival materials. There is a binding trim in left blank margin and some staining in the top blank margin is visible from old tape on verso.
