Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on card. There is a 3cm. flattened crease towards the upper right edge and a minor 0.5cm. crease across the upper right corner. Apart from some light creases to the right of the church's steeple, inherent to the laying process, and some light discolouration to the sheet, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the sheet is less warm and creamer in the original.
