Condition Report: Harmonious overall appearance. The upper sheet edge with a minuscule backed loss (0,2 x 0,8 cm). At the lower edge left of centre two small tears (1,2 and 0,7 cm), the larger of which closed. The margins slightly scuffed. The original pink paper tone mostly faded and only faintly visible in the margins. The paper slightly creased and at the upper and lower edges with vertical and diagonal crinkles. In the upper right corner and at the right edge centre each a shell-shaped crease (max. 8 cm). Overall, isolated minuscule, hardly noticeable palefoxing. The corners each with 2 minuscule mounting holes. Ultraviolet light reveals no retouchings or repairs. On the reverse at the edges in places adhesive tape and various remains of former paper mounting
