Condition is consistent with age. The bottom left (or proper right) corner has an approximate 2 ½ inch straight tear to paper. In the same straight line, on bridge, to the left of figure, there is another straight tear, approximately 3 inches in length. It seems like this could have been one long tear that did not rip in the middle. If looking at the piece from a distance, the tear is not visible. It is only noticeable upon closer inspection. In addition to these, there is a small tear to the top right (or proper left) corner, which is hardly visible. The top left (or top proper right) has a circular white residue, possibly mold or some other substance. Yes, the paper is yellowed from age. Overall, this is a handsome example that could use some minor restoration by an experienced paper restorer. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
