Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant with the paper tone tending more towards ivory in the original. Condition: These works are in very good condition. The sheets are hinged to the mount at the top left and right corners. There are some very light handling creases to a number of the sheets. The second drawing from the top left row in the catalogue illustration has a lifting crease in the lower right corner.
