Condition
Outstanding color and cleanliness, backed with archival paper, minor edge tears, a visible horizontal fold line the full width of the image just above the joint and with touched-up color along that line, a second less pronounced horizontal fold line just below the joint, less touch-up if any, otherwise fine to very good without additional issues beyond a small handful of tiny points of foxing.
