The frame itself is worthy of display, although not perfect with some missing gesso and probably other irregularities associated with age and use
Overall very nice condition, some minor discoloration & damage to lithograph (nothing major at all) as well as some missing gesso to frame, particularly along the right side, possibly other irregularities associated with age and use that I have missed
