Condition: |
Very good condition. Minor soiling on the sheet margins, a 1/4” x 3/4” paper crease across the lower right sheet corner, none of these affecting the image area. Within the image there is a tight printing crease on the lower left hand sleeve in the green. There are pencil notes as to title and date on the lower reverse side sheet margin plus an ink stamp “Made in Japan”. The colors are very good with subtle pink flesh tones in the face. Not matted or mounted. | ||||
