More Information

Condition is poor. Several of the screws securing the mount to the back are missing. There are several gaps between the mount and the back around the sides and aperture. There is some denting to the highpoints, thinning and splitting concentrated around the sides. The reverse does not appear to be original to the front. The painted wooden frame has splits in the corners, one running completely through the aperture. The back panel easel is slightly loose. The glass is later, and has a small chip in the corner. The glass and the back with the supporting easel are not secure, and slide out when moved.
