This work is in fair to good condition overall. There are 5 distinct spots of moderate to appreciable handling creases with specs of emulsion loss from the lower center to the upper center quadrant. There are two minor tears at the left margin edge. The creases and tears have been consolidated and stabilized by the linen backing/lining. There is red and white retouching at the lower edge of the "SHERIFF OF ANGEL GULCH" lettering, at the margin of the original period paste-over. Overall the colors are bright and fresh with no apparent fading.
