12.23.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 3312: As described the sheet is hinged to the matting with tape, please note that I am not an expert in such works and do not know if the tape is archival, also as described the sheet exhibits some overall typical light toning and foxing, paper is free from observed holes or notable tearing beyond some typical minute nicks at the edges commensurate with age, the edges being slightly rough, as is typical, particularly along the lower edge, the lower right corner of the plate with some faded spotting (see image), however I do not know it’s origin or cause, watermark appears in a partial state, which is best viewed with a light source illuminating the sheet from behind
