Large-format sheet in very good condition.
In the upper center of the black area, there are very few minimal signs of rubbing, visible only when held up to the light. The upper left edge of the sheet has a tiny brown spot, visible to the naked eye only when viewed very closely.
On the reverse, the sheet is mounted all around, parallel to the edges, on a canvas-laminated Forex backing.
