Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, attached to the mount at all four edges and floating in the mount. The sheet is a little time-stained. The left edge is slightly unevenly cut and the upper and lower right corners are curved. There is some very minor undulation to the sheet and a small flattened crease towards the lower part of the left edge. There are some very small spots of foxing in places and there is a tiny nick to the left part of the upper edge. This work is in overall very good condition.
