Sweet little print, has red chopmark further down in the right corner margin.....paper size 8+" x 11", image size aaprox 4 3/8" x 6". there is a little faint foxing in the margins, and some light "finger-bend" creases and slightly curving (non-flat) of margin....may have had tape along some edges...but the image is in fine shape.
