Very good impression and colours, with relief printing. A tiny bit worn at upper margin. Right upper corner with a small restored tear, right margin verso with a small backing, paper at upper left corner a tiny bit thinner. Nearly no creases. At the left side of the lady a smaller spot due to the printing process, otherwise very good and clean condition.
