The poster has rough edges and they have been left as is. The majority of the poster is however in wonderful shape. Here is and article from the Fitzroy City Press of the 17th of December 1887:-
Macmeikan and Co. report having held a most successful sale of the Fitzroy Junction Estate on last Saturday afternoon, there being fully 1500 people in attendance the bidding being keen and spirited through out, the whole of the 134 lots on the plan being disposed of in two hours, or over 1 lot per minute.
