Discoloration, foxing, and minor paper loss around the perimeter, but no tears or creases. This poster was purchased from an estate, and while fresh to the market, it is "as found", which, given the materials and method, appears to have been framed during the period it was released (late 1960's) and unfortunately excludes archival, acid-free materials, and an inferior frame, which accounts for the overall foxing. Fortunately, this can be stabilized and most likely reversed by a professional conservator.

Again, there's nothing noteworthy about the (damaged) frame, so it will not be included in the sale. Nor shall the glass - it's simply too risky, and the poster will be shipped, rolled in acid-free paper, in a sturdy tube.

Please not that I have a second Chagall poster listed here, and would make a nice deal on the pair. See less
