The frame features a unique multi-toned paint scheme, showing a vibrant blue along the outside edge with a subtle green-and-brown transition on the inner bevel. The frame shows minor, age-appropriate edge wear and scuffing that adds to its authentic vintage character.Front Art & Glass: The lithograph print, cream matting, and front glass are in stable, very good vintage condition.Backing Paper: The original brown paper dust backing on the reverse side is fragile and starting to crumble/tear along the top and edges due to the natural aging of mid-century wood-pulp paper.Note to Buyer: The paper backing has been intentionally left completely original to preserve the authenticity of the vintage Toronto framing label and the handwritten pencil dedication from "Elie". Please handle with care.(Please take a close look at all the listing photos to evaluate the front presentation and the exact condition of the fragile paper backing before purchasing).
