Conservation and Damage:
- General condition: Good
- The ink is very good, and the print is well stamped.
- The engraving is on medium-thick paper of average thickness and of fair quality.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has some small stains and rust spots, all more pronounced as we get closer to the edges.
- The engraving is dirty, and the edges are much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips are slightly deteriorated with slight bending.
- A light washing and bleaching would be a very good result.
Comments:
- Measurements are approximate.
- Ideal engraving as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
