Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely lose inspection reveals a few tiny irregularities to the print, which appear to be original. Visible only under further extremely close inspection with a flashlight is a thin and unobtrusive scratch running horizontally, approximately 30cm from the upper edge, which appears to have been retouched. This is likely to be original.
