A horizontal crease or warp line runs through the centre of the card (photo 1). Surface mottling is present on the dark teal background under the glass (photo 5). The wooden frame shows light surface scuffs and dust accumulation (photo 1). The reverse is sealed with brown paper and fitted with three modern brass mirror plates for hanging (photo 6).
