Overall generally good condition. A good impression. With wide margins and deckled edges. With the original binding edge along the extreme left edge. A 0.75" H x 8.5" W area of damp staining along the lower margin edge, at center, and another area of staining measuring 2" H x 3" W in the lower right margin corner. A flattened 14" diagonal crease in the right margin edge, and other minor handling creases scattered in the outer margin corners. Two thin 1" soft pressure marks appearing from the verso at the lower margin, presumably attendant with previous nails used for framing. Small areas of pale foxing and minor surface soiling primarily scattered in the margin corners. The sheet is loose, not matted.

Unframed Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
