The reverse is completely covered in brown tape so we cannot access the back. The front has several small stains and is generally a bit discoloured throughout. Also two small tears in the top right hand corner and one to the left hand edge above the green beetle. There are several scratches along the bottom edge, one or two of which may have gone through the paper
