Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount with tape along the upper edge. The right, left and lower edges are deckled with associated tiny nicks. The sheet is undulating. There are a few minor flattened creases in places, most predominately towards the upper edge. There is a small area of faint paper abrasion to the upper right corner. The sheet is light stained with a few dots of foxing in places and there is mount staining along all extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
