Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is pinned to the backing board in the upper two corner tips and undulates slightly. Close inspection reveals some tiny nicks and chips to the extreme edges of the frames.
