The sheet is affixed to the verso of the mat via two sets of white paper tape at upper left and right corners. With remnants of old white paper tape running along the center of the top outer edge, and the center of the left outer edge (thin band in each case). The sheet is lightly toned, with gentle mat staining, especially visible at the bottom of the sheet when the mat is lifted up. From behind, the outer edges of the sheet are not straight. Still, the sheet sits flat and presents well. Without any tear, loss or sign of restoration. See Specialist's pictures for more details.
