The paper is thin and soft like a newspaper page and keeps the gentle creases of a sheet that was rolled and taped when given away. It has been float mounted beneath a cream mat with a gilded bevel, in a broad gold leaf style frame glazed with ultraviolet filtering acrylic, and a small brass plaque names the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tear of about two millimetres at one edge, hidden by the mount, is the trace of the tape with which the roll was closed.

Behind the glass stood the stab vest, the cradle watched by cameras and the rugs made from a certain cartoon tiger; everything was sold online by ballot. On one weekend the staff passed rolled rat prints to children in the crowd, without warning and without a count, and those sheets have been followed closely ever since. Copies exist, so the papers and history of any example matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Running rat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Print on newsprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 x 39 cm (19.7 x 15.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66 x 51 cm (26 x 20 in), gilt, UV acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft creasing across the sheet, as issued.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tear of about 2 mm at the margin, under the mount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame and glazing are clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (good, light wear)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is offered as attributed, on the strength of the papers that travel with it and which are shown in the photographs.
