From what I can see, as well as what the consignor told me, there is a bit of reinking, which you can detect in the hair when you tilt the card under a light, and some paper restoration at the bottom banner where the name is that I am not able to detect. I would advise the winning bidder to leave it as it is. It looks great and removing any work that was done would just make matters worse. I'm starting it at $2500, a tiny fraction of what an excellent copy would ultimately sell for.
