CONDITION: When examined out of the frame the sheet is not laid down but it hinged with tape along the top of the sheet. Pronounced mat burn when the mat is lifted but overall the coloring of the paper is consistent with age. Please contact the department for additional images. There are no tears or abrasions to the image or the sheet, piece would benefit from being re-matted to stop the mat burn from getting worse and would benefit from being re-framed.
