on the back there are remnants of a 3" x 1/2" torn off sticker near the bottom - there is some ink transfer on the back from artwork that was stored under this art. A NICE, ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE OF EDITORIAL ARTWORK THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED! When packed, this will ship at the 2 pound rate - check the postage calculator.
