Condition report:
The signature is legible but exhibits moderate fading to a brown tone. The paper of the card and the photograph shows light, even aging and minor toning. The wooden frame has small surface abrasions and minor nicks. The brown paper backing has several small tears and surface scuffs, though the hanging hardware remains intact.
