There are old glue stains that present as 15 dots around the margins of the recto; these measure about 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Gentle toning to the sheet on the recto, with slightly darker toning to the reverse of the sheet, likely from contact with an old frame backing, now replaced. Some mat burn to the recto, particularly along the top edge and upper right corner. Old hinges and glue residue along the top edge of the reverse, and with two recent tape hinges at the upper edges of the vertical sides of the reverse, to hold the work within the mat.
