Overall good appearance. Very minor wear to the edges and corners. A few spots of glue residue and surface skinning on the verso of the gray support sheet. As mentioned, the sheet is tipped from the verso of each sheet corner to a gray support sheet. Subsequently, the gray support sheet is hinged to a wove cream-colored paper with two pieces of white tape from the verso of the upper sheet edge. The wove paper is then loose and secured to the back mat with four clear archival corners.

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.
