Condition

The sheet is time-stained,of which stains of previous mountaing are visible along all four edges. There are some scattered spots of foxing. There are some very fine creases to the sheet and there are some paper remnants to the centre of the right edge and to the lower right edge. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the pencil line is less black and the reds and greens brighter and lighter in the original.
