Condition
The sheet has not been laid down but is attached at points to the reverse. The extreme edges of the sheet, which are visible framed, are slightly lighter in tone suggesting the former presence of a mat. Apart from scattered spots of foxing, which are mostly light and not visually distracting, this work is in good overall condition. Presented on a red velvet-lined frame, under glass.
