The printed surface … moreThis print remains in its original protective plastic wrap and has never been removed from its backing. The printed surface beneath the wrap appears exceptionally well preserved, with strong color saturation, crisp typography, and no visible fading. The paper shows no tears, staining, foxing, or creasing visible through the wrap. The original cardboard backing shows minor edge wear, light corner softening, and gentle bending consistent with age and long-term storage. These cosmetic imperfections are confined to the backing and do not affect the integrity of the artwork itself. The plastic wrap exhibits natural light reflection and minor surface rippling typical of original protective packaging. Overall, the print presents beautifully and reads as clean, vibrant, and display-ready once framed. Please note: This print is part of a coordinated set of three D.M. Ferry & Co. advertising pieces acquired together. Each is listed individually, but they pair exceptionally well as a grouped wall installation for maximum visual impact. Inquiries for the full trio are welcome. less
