Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some generally even discolouration is visible in the margins of some of the prints. Close inspection reveals some minor handling creases to the edges of the 'girlfriend' prints, as well as a few minor and unobtrusive surface abrasions.
