Condition	Excellent - very good ... paper toning, margins slightly creased.
Note	The most of wood-engraving prints use small amount of oil based ink on a thin paper for printing. The ink and the printing pressure are not applied much in order to reserve the minute details. The baren marks may not be obvious.
