Condition

Executed on white wove card, not laid down, and t-hinged at the upper two corners. The board is slightly acidic and it would be recommended to remove it. There are pinholes to all four corners, and the lower edge is unevenly cut. There is paper tape on the reverse along all four edges. There is a pin hole to the centre of the upper and lower edges. The card is very slightly undulating due to the application of the medium. The colours are bright and this work is in overall good condition.
