Description

Fair overall condition. The dag shows heavy wear along the edges of the images, likely the after effect of an attempted cleaning. The man in the image is still mostly visible and in good detail. The image has been previously resealed with its mat. The case is in good condition, showing very light chipping along the edges. Hinges are in good shape, clasp is functioning. Velvet mat slightly worn. Could use a slight cleaning on the exterior.
