Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and brighter, with the paper tone tending more towards cream in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a very thin line of discolouration to the extreme edges. There is a very narrow crease to the left centre of the extreme top edge, and a further shallow crease towards the top right corner. The lower right corner tip is slightly creased.
