Condition report:
Overall, excellent. Being overly critical, there is (a) some waviness to the paper of the Paris 1912 on the right side and (b) two slight dents to the edge right and left of top center - visible from the back. We suspect, but do not know, that they are attributable to the assembly of the sign. Tape residue and paper loss on the back, as pictured, where someone adhered the sign to a wall.
