Condition
Executed on the frontispiece of a printed copy of the book, not laid down, positioned in the window mount. There is a tiny crease to the upper left and lower left corners. The sheet is very gently undulated in places, consistent with the artist's process. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
