Original antique print 

The print was photographed against a gray background. Vertical fold with some light creases parallel to fold. Another crease is somewhat diagonal to the centerfold and another light crease on the right side. Some small repaired tears on margin edges. A small rubbed area in the center of the print. A few hardly mentionable light spots. Overall the print makes a fine impression with its strong coloring.
