Slight warping to ivory. Little fading to centre right edge. There appears to be a layer of thick yellow substance which has accumulated along the top right edge - this is visible when examined more closely in raking light. Indistinctly signed and dated '(Gibson? / ??dron?) / [1]801' lower left. Examined out of frame.
