Beschreibung
A good, but slightly later printing partially dry (most noticeably in the background landscape); Meder f-g intermediate state, showing the tiny gaps in the lower borderline. Trimmed to the borderline, at the top left and bottom right minimally within. – A few small, carefully restored tears along the upper edge. Paper slightly time-stained and thinned out in places. Faint traces of blue ink in the lower left margin, small brown spots in three corners, otherwise in good condition.
