Condition
Executed on beige wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the overmount at two points along the upper edge. There are remants of old framer's tape along the reverse of the edges. The upper and right edges are slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals some very minor frame abrasion and a faint flattened crease running parallel with the lower edge, not visible when framed. There is a patch of light discoloration in the lower right corner. Otherwise, apart from some time-staining and scattered faint spots of foxing this work is in very good condition.
