Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Both sheets undulate slightly. Upon extremely close inspection there is a small area of paper skinning, approximately 1/2 inch in size to the bottom right corner of the right sheet. Upon further very close inspection there are some very minor and unobtrusive handling marks with some associated media accretions along all edges and a minuscule dent to the center of the bottom horizontal edge of the right sheet. Both sheets are hinged verso to the mat in the upper two corners.
