Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. All four edges are deckled. There are minor nicks and tears to the top and bottom edges. There are some small strips of tape to the reverse of the top edge, possibly from previous mounting. Apart from some light surface dirt, mainly to the upper edges, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the paper tone is
lighter and brighter in the original.
