Not laid down. The fraktur is adhered to the backing card at the top left and bottom right corners with what looks like double-sided tape. The card it is adhered to has old masking tape around the edges and it looks like there is a light brownish stain around the edges where this tape is. There is a 1/8 in tear at the upper left edge.
