There are four 1″ tears in the outer margins that have been sealed with tape. There is very pale matte burn and there are two printer’s smudges in the far margins. There is a hand written title in the lower margin.
The signature in graphite is strong (lr),
The hand coloring is good.
Overall the image an A and the sheet an A- (as is). Conservation would remove the pale matte burn, but won’t really add anything.
