Condition
The sheet is a little discoloured and has been laid down onto Japan paper. There are a number of horizontal and vertical creases to the paper throughout and abrasions to the sheet surface which have been restored very well and are barely visible to the naked eye. There is a repair to a loss in the lower left corner and some minor pinholes top left. The colours have faded a little and in certain places are a little abraded following the restoration. Framed in a simple wooden frame and under Plexiglas.
