The frame was opened during preview, and the print is not laid down. It had been affixed to the window mat with masking tape at intervals around the reverse, but the glue had dried out so that the print is now loose. The print and frame had been back with corrugated cardboard. It also appears that the print was once lightly glued to a different backing. There are tack holes around the outer margins. Sheet size is 9 x 15 1/8 inches.

The print was not put back in its frame, and is now held in a print sleeve.
