In Good+ to near VG [or better] condition: Light signs of offsetting, age spotting and light surface soiling (mostly in blank margins), overall the image remains clean and very attractive. Any minor age flaws or defects may hopefully be clearly seen in the images.

The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting and scarce historical image.
