There is a pale water stain along the lower edge near the signature, and a tiny nick at the right edge, also near the signature. There are several very subtle surface rubs within the blue ink, just changing the sheen of the ink. The sheet is gently toned, and the edges on verso are more darkly toned. The sheet is completely free and without any sort of hinges or residue, but shows some rippling when removed from the frame.

The frame is 26 1/2 x 18 1/4 x 1 in.
