Print has two vertical creases and 1.25" horizontal fold at top center. 2.75" tear at Jackson's name at bottom. Aged tape a top right corner and both bottom corners, though this is not visible as professionally matted. Right margin ha small tear and top left has .5x1.5" surface paper lift. 1" surface tear below William A. Brady portrait. Tiny sliver off lower right.
