Condition Report: Harmonious overall appearance. The sheet edges without losses. The lower edge right of centre as well as the left sheet edge below the centre, each with one short tear (to 1,1 cm). In one spot in the centre of the right edge and in two spots above the jacket hem of the left figure, closed tears, each backed with Japan paper (max. 3,2 cm). The paper, mainly along the edges, with minor uneven time staining and somewhat creased, mainly in the upper right area of the sheet. In the lower left corner and at the right margin, fine horizontal creases (to 4,5 cm). Mainly along the left edge as well as at the upper right, a few slight brownish pinpoint discolourations; in the centre of the right edge, one small overpainted area with opaque white. Each corner with two minuscule mounting holes, partially with slight circular pressure marks from thumbtack heads. On the reverse, in places slightly stained; in the centre of the sheet, two faint liquid marks, not visible on the front. At the left and the upper edge, residue from removed adhesive tape, and in the upper corners, small remnants of brown paper tape
