Wow, that is in poor shape but really amazing to see what it should look like. I think a good conservation company will be able to connect the torn pieces and "clean up" the surface to a certain extent to add more clarity to the composition. I have had a few prints restored and they are time consuming and expensive.
Please keep us posted on what you decide to do with the piece. You may be able to frame out the missing pieces so that it looks better by having a custom mat with slanted corners once you've had the piece somewhat restored.
