Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places at the upper edge. The upper and right edges are deckled and the left and lower edges are folded back on themselves.
The sheet is timestained and there is some scattered foxing throughout. There are a few small flattened creases in places, including one vertical one to the centre of the extreme upper edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the papertone is slightly warmer overall.
