The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

In addition to the catalogue description:
- trimmed to or just inside the platemark but retaining a fillet of blank paper outside the borderline
- the lower right corner slightly creased and rubbed.
- a few tiny surface losses on the side of the steps of the throne.
- a small pale stain at lower left.
- a couple of short repaired tears at the upper right sheet edge.
- some unobtrusive creases and fold elsewhere, mostly visible in raking light and verso.
- remains of an old backing sheet along the left sheet edge verso.
Otherwise as described and generally in good condition.
