A fine layer of dust on the surface. Scattered pinpoint fly spots visible upon very close inspection.
Evidence of light wear on the cylindrical supporting element. Subtle
indication of cockling between the interior and exterior edge on the
left shortest edge. Minor traces of faint soiling marks in some areas
throughout. Scuff marks towards the lower left quadrant. Stable
craquelure adjacent to the central right edge. Hard and soft creases and
undulation on verso. Extremely short and unobtrusive cracks to the
uppermost tip of the central cut. An area of oxidation on the
corresponding exterior edge. Slightly faded colours to the proper left
front corner. A linear abrasion twelve inches from the top. Some very
faint and unobtrusive pale drip accretions along the turning edges and
corners. Significant foxing and tear approximately one inch from the
upper right end. A line of bleeding above the trunk in the center. Two
faint linear pigment transfers running parallel at one inch on either
side of the text. One very bent bottom corner. Possible drips of varnish
in places elsewhere. Spots of lightly discolored pitting at the
extremity of the lower right facet. A tiny speck of blanching to the
