Good overall impression. Two small holes in the center of the upper margin and another small hole in the center of the lower margin. Overall with retouched spots. Edges partly lighter and not fully painted, presumably due to the framing, as well as with a superficial blemish in lower right. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
