66.5 x 50.5 cm (sheet size: 71.2 x 52.5 cm).

De Vesme 7 III (of III); Succi 9 III (of III); Rizzi, 228 III (of III, with the number '43' at upper left). - A fine, strong, and clear impression, printing with rich contrast, with margins around the platemark. With a barely perceptible smoothed central fold. The upper margin with three tears extending into the image. The lower margin and the side margins with small damages outside of the subject. The margins partly somewhat creased, the corners bumped. The paper with even subtle browning and somewhat foxed in places, mainly in the margins/marginal areas. With light traces of wear. Despite the aforementioned defects, good overall impression.
