Sound and complete editorial margins. An excellent collectible specimen, solid and ready to be framed. (See the complete photo gallery, including the back photo, for a proper assessment)-
A slight old stain from humidity residue on the paper reinforcement at the back is noted, entirely historical and perfectly dry, which in no way affects the paper’s integrity nor the engraved front.
