Due to scale, the print cannot be examined out of frame without risking damage to the work. However, the sheet is floated so all edges are visible. Subtle small areas of discoloration at c.l. and c.r. edges. The weight of the framed piece suggests that the glazing is glass. No additional issues to report.
