In good condition. Dynamic, decisive lines. The sheet is slightly creased and with a few faint handling marks, tiny crush marks, and small kinks. With a very faint crease running diagonally across the lower half of the image. A tiny puncture hole in the upper left corner of the sheet, probably resulting from the process of creation. Narrow discolorations around the edges of the sheet, probably from previous mounting. Residues from previous mounting on the reverse of the upper edge of the sheet, slightly protruding and showing through to the recto.
