Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, attached to the mount at intervals along all four edges, floating in the mount, the left, right and lower edges are deckled. There are two small areas of fluorescence under UV light at the top two corners. Apart from light discolouration to all extreme edges, probably due to previous mounting and a few very light spots of foxing, this work is in very good condition.
