Condition
Colours are more subtile and pinks are more intense than suggested in the catalogue.
Some very small stray threads. Otherwise very good condition. Lining to back slightly dirty and with some marks. Each is lined and hanged by simple wood support connected at the top. Left hand panel in catalogue illustration has glue deposit to the reverse where label was. The right hand panel has original label but sticky tape has removed much of the details.
