Condition

This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few tiny and unobtrusive pulled threads which are likely to be original. Further very close inspection reveals a very faint and unobtrusive spot of discolouration to the lower edge, approximately 5cm from the lower left corner, which does not affect the main image.
