Most of image is in Very good condition !
However there are definite condition issues.
1. Overall age darkening due to over 136 years of Oxidation etc.
2. Several recent Scrapes, that removed oxidation to paper - also affecting etching lines. Top left to Center line Is a distraction.
Said condition is reversible - *Cost would vary by conservators.
3. Pencil Signature is light - but, indentation by Peter Moran's hand signing is clearly there (Refer to picture # 4,5,6)
4. Tear in the paper border on left side, Outside Art.
