Good overall impression. The sheet is unevenly browned and slightly stained. With crease marks at the bottom and right margin of the sheet and tears, partially stabilized on the reverse. The upper left corner has been professionally restored. There are also a few tiny spots of foxing in the white margins. The image is in good condition.
