Printed image presents well and colors appear to be bright with no indication of fading.
To the margin there is slight discoloration from the mat approximately 1.25 inches on either side and .75 inches to top and bottom, away from printed image and pencil. Reverse of print showing entire printed image slightly bled through, a likely result of non-archival framing materials. Upper edge of reverse showing old hinge marks; presently hinged to matboard. No indication of creases or restoration to sheet. Would benefit from updated framing. Fine and stable condition overall.
Sheet measures: 24.5 h x 29.5 w inches
