In good condition consistent of the age. Each corner with a small pinhole. Paper rubbed below the large rose, however, barely impairing the overall impression, with two to three tiny paper blemishes in the image and a very faint scratch in left part. Upper margin with two small unobtrusive splits. Paper wavy and wrinkled owing to the technique.
