Condition
It has not been possible to examine the reverse of the sheet. Executed on cream wove fibrous paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount along upper and lower edges. There are a diagonal line of paper abrasion (approx. 2 cm long) possibly inherent to the paper at the lower left quadrant and a few faint flattened creases in places, predominately along the extreme edges. There is some mount staining along the upper, left and lower edges and the sheet is light stained. This work is in overall good condition.
