The print is not glued to its backing, and is instead held in place by a well fitting frame and tightly fitting board backing. The frame is in good condition, there are some minor abrasions to it, but it is in good condition, and old gilding is still present on the interior edge. The print is in good condition, without holes or abrasions. There is some minor discoloration due to its age, but the colored parts have maintained their color well.
