Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the background is creamier and the catalogue illustration fails to convey some pencil lines visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the mount along the upper edge. All edges are slightly deckled and the sheets undulate slightly.
