It’s in good condition overall – the paper itself shows extensive brown foxed marks all over as well as notable folding / crease lines; there are also multiple old torn areas to all fold creases (please refer to images). The frame is also in good order – a few light scuffs around the edging & the backing tape has also started to peel / come away but as shown all adding to the aged charm & character of the piece. It’s of traditional form, an auction poster from 1880 advertising the sale of seven newly erected cottages in Maryport The auctioneer was T. Boyd. Printed by John Adair of Maryport.
