Damp strip across the image (rather inconspicuous), probably caused by a leak when it was placed on a wall somewhere. On back a sticker of Romein, located at Duivelandschestraat 45, Scheveningen and the text "Voorzichtig uitpakken. Kostbare Teekening. Zeer vatbaar voor beschadiging (spuitwerk). Teekening nergens tegen aanzetten Voorzicht!!! Dank u." *Bernard Romein was born in Hilligersberg, Rotterdam.
