Condition: |
Very good condition. very good color. Warm paper toning on the margin, several slight foxing spots on the left margin edge. A 3/32” tear at the center right edge, barely noticeable. Printed on thin paper, to the edge on the right and bottom. The ink gap from the kento mark on the lower right corner is identical to that shown in the reference and probably consistent on all copies. | ||||
