Good overall impression. The paper slightly browned, as well as slightly creased mainly in the margins and with slight handling and crease marks in places. The sheet margins slightly irregular in places and with a tiny paper loss in the left and right margins. Margins slightly stained in places, particularly in the upper margin.
