Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount in the top two corners and there is some light undulation to the sheet throughout. There is extremely minor wear to the top two corner tips and towards the centre of the top extreme edge. Visible only upon close inspection and in raking light, there is a diagonal and extremely shallow crease to the photographic paper towards the centre of the composition.
