Condition

Matted and unframed. This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged to the backing board at the top. The sheet has darkened over time except for a 1 in. band along left edge and 1/4 in. band along the right, top and bottom edges possibly due to prior matting. There are minor soft creases throughout.
