Although the work has not been removed from the frame (this is to insure that the condition of the print is not adversly effectect from handling),the edges are clearly visible. The wear to the edges is exceedingly minor. It is to the lower corners and along several small areas of the lower edge. The sheet is very gently rippled and largely free from the backing (there is no visual evidence of hinges from the face).
