Condition
Fair to Good vintage condition. Age appropriate wear visible on the lithograph, notably towards the bottom two corners. However overall it is clean and well-preserved. No damage or restoration revealed under blacklight. The Verve publication reflects significantly more age and handling wear across. The dust cover is torn and creased across the front & back. The spine and joints are also loose exposing the signatures, some of which are unattached. Please see photos.
