Condition
Executed on a sheet of cream laid paper, coated on one side. All four edges are serrated. The sheet has a horizontal fold running across it (relating to when the letter was sent) and a vertical fold (presumably from when the letter was folded by the recipient at the time of receipt). The sheet is slightly time-stained and there are a few minor spots of foxing in places. There is an artist's pinhole to the centre of the upper edge and a few creases in places, consistent with handling. There are a few minor stains to the verso of the sheet, consistent with mailing. This work is in overall good condition. Please note that this work is sold unframed.
