Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the newspaper is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is laid down on rice paper which is hinged verso to the back of the window mount along the upper edge. Close inspection reveals some light adhesive residue to the upper corners and some very light handling creases in places.
