With margins. A good impression with velvety burr. An "L-shaped" section is torn away along the upper right margin edges, ending right at the platemark, and the tear does not affect the image, and cannot be seen through the window of the overmat. The sheet is hinged to the overmat with three pieces of brown tape from the verso of the upper margin edge.

Unframed Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
