Paper undulating, clearly not laid down, has at some point been folded up into sections with crease marks showing horizontally and vertically, flaw in the top right the corner where the printed paper had a crease and so the printed image shows a gap through it in the text, colouring possibly original but probably later, retains good strength of colour, ground paper a little dirty particularly across the bottom, later plain card mount and bronzed wood frame.
