I bought this for my mother when we visited the estate many years ago. Unfortunately, when I had it framed it was folded, as shown in the pictures. It does not take away from the quality of the picture itself, but it may matter to some. So you're buying it as is. I don't know why it was removed from the frame, but after my mother was placed in a nursing home and her house was cleaned out, this is how the print was given back to me. Non-smoking house. See pictures for details. It will come with the article shown in the pics about the artist.
