A nice impression with full contemporary color on a sheet with a "GA" watermark, a bit of color offsetting, and a couple of printer's creases at bottom left. There are archival repairs to a centerfold separation at bottom and to some tiny tears along the edges of the sheet, primarily due to the dampstains and mildew stains along the edges of the sheet, which only enter the image at bottom center.
