Condition
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some very thin and unobtrusive drying cracks to the white stencilled letters. There are a small number of minute media accretions scattered in isolated places which are likely to be original. The background is slightly uneven, with some faint discolouration in places, all of which is likely to be inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
