This print is in good stable condition; a good impression with strong colors. It had been previously framed and has remnants of matting tape on the verso (see photos). In the 1960s they did not use conservation tape, so some of the residue seeped to the front in one spot on the top where there's an approximately 1 square inch smudge. It is visible mostly up close (see close up photo) and is generally unobtrusive but visible.
