Bartsch 20; TIB 20. - A superb, strong impression with rich contrast and with a small margin around the plate mark. Fix mounted on card. Somewhat foxed mostly in the margin areas, with small tears, occasional rubbing and traces of wear. The upper area of the left margin with a light water stain. The vertical centre fold with visible crease, possibly with backed tear. The lower right corner with smaller paper loss and creases. Despite the aforementioned defects, overall good impression.
