Condition

Unexamined out of the frame and under glass. Apart from light even time staining to the sheets, a few intermittent scattered scuffs along the sheets' edges, and some very faint scattered spots of foxing visible under close inspection only (primarily in the rightmost sheet), this work is in good overall condition. The three drawings are framed as one with the edges of each sheet visible, under glass.
