Acquired from the above by the present owner
Condition
Executed on cream wove paper (a sheet taken from a book), not laid down, attached to the mount at all four corners, and floating in the overmount. There appear to be tape and adhesive remnants to the verso of the extreme left edge (probably related to the book binding), some signs of which are visible through the sheet, though not distracting. The lower part of the extreme left edge is slightly unevenly cut and there is some minor staining in places, mainly at the extreme edges, and consistent with age and handling. Overall this work is in good condition.
