There are a small number of tiny scuffs and scratches to the surface elsewhere, including one to the red pigment in the upper section of the rainbow. There is some staining to the extreme edges of the work, and some possible light time staining to the rest of the card. There is some very light surface dirt. This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
