Condition: Light overall soiling; window of overall toning to image which can be seen when mat is lifted; bottom edge of sheet is uneven; some creasing/crumpling in sky; damp staining to upper left corner; soiling and light water spots to reverse of sheet; 0.75" long tear to right edge of sheet, entirely in margin; Shipping weight is 7.0 lbs.
