Condition The matting, glass, frame and lithograph are in good condition considering the vintage.  The frame has some barely noticeable dents and the lithograph shows some very minor undulations which all are commensurate with age.   There are no blemishes, tears or discoloration to the lithograph or matting.  These minor irregularities do not take away from the presentation of the “Baer Carnera” lithograph under normal viewing.History The lithograph was given by Robert Riggs to cover medical bills to the owner’s father who was a doctor.  The lithograph has been in the family since 1933 and passed on to his son, the current owner, who has cared for it to this day. MeasurementsThe lithograph’s image measures 14 ¾  by 19 ¾  inches with an ¼  in border.  The two layered matting measures approximately 2 ¼ inches wide and the picture frame measures 20 ¾ by 25 ¼  inches.Packaging and Shipping The lithograph will be packed by a professional packing company at an approximate cost of $40.00 which will be added to your location shipping costs.
