Condition
This outsize print has been exhibited unglazed for a time and has the superficial abrasions consistent with that. A paler area, approx. 20cm by 6cm, in the lower right corner has been abraded by some harsh surface. The print was originally made in a warm tone and has not faded unduly, although it would benefit from professional cleaning.
Overall an historical piece in an entirely appropriate condition.
