Condition
This work is in good overall condition. There is a evidence of soft handling creases scattered throughout the sheet. The paper appears to have yellowed with age, as visible in the catalogue illustration, and the extreme lateral edges have darkened, presumably from a prior frame. There is a faint diagonal crease, measuring approximately 3 inches, in the lower left corner and a small tear located in the top edge 6 inches from the left corner. The media accretion at the center of the lower edge of the sheet appears original. Hinged with archival material and floating in frame. Framed under glass.
