Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The top edge and two side edges are deckled. The sheet has yellowed slightly due to age. There is evidence of light wear and handling, which have resulted in minor tears along the edges. The extreme edges of the sheet are a lighter color, presumably from having been covered by an old mat. There is a small surface abrasion on the left side of the paper, 20 inches from the top. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
