Condition: this print has a couple of small light marks in the left hand white border, about 3mm from the outer edge of the print, they are not immediately noticeable and would be concealed by framing. It is otherwise in mint condition having been stored flat and dark and never framed. It comes with the original Certificate of Authenticity

The fault would be difficult to show in a photograph - however the print is covered by our 'No Quibble Guarantee' so if its not as you expected you can return it for a full refund.

Please note: sales literature at the time listed Captain Jack Reid as a signer, however he was replaced at the last minute by Admiral Lew Hopkins.
