Very good to fine condition. Examination under strong, reflective, raking light confirms that there are no issues of any degree affecting the condition of the image. The mount displays eight extremely fine points of foxing lower right corner around the signature, and two pinpoint bits near the lower left corner, all are on the mount and most, not all, are visible without magnification.
