Summary Good
Assessor Troy Lee Wibberley
Notes Item is in generally good condition for age. The print itself is well preserved despite minor yellowing of the original paper. The newspaper clipping on the back is also in good condition, paper has yellowed but is otherwise fine. The frame is in fair condition, paint has been chipped in several places and feels slightly loose fitting, the rear has some white stains towards the top of the frame. Should still be fine for hanging/presentation.
