Good overall condition. Conservation has recently been done to a horizontal hole in the skirt of the foremost figure. An inpainted paper fill has closed the hole to prevent further loss to the paper. Stains on the illustrated surface especially in upper half of folio, as visible in catalogue illustration. Minor white pigment blotch in lower left corner and specks on upper right corner. Loss to pigment and tear to lower left border. This lot is exhibited in a temporary frame.
