Thence by descent to the present owner

Please note that the colours are a bit less vivid than in the catalogue illustration. Cardboard is stable. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There are a few creases in places some of which associated pigment losses. There is a pinhole at the centre of the left edge. Extreme edges and corners are slightly scuffed. The cardboard is light stained. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
