Issued folding, now pressed on watermarked paper with faint toning and minor soiling. The bottom margin has been trimmed near neatline, resulting in slight loss of neatline in one area. Backed in Japanese tissue to repair a fold separation and a tear, and to extend the margins to accommodate framing.
