Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and attached to the backing board at the centre of the lower edge and in three places along the upper edge. All four edges are reinforced with brown tape to the recto. There is a rectangular loss to the upper right corner (approximately 1 by 3cm.) where the sheet appears to have been intentionally cut. The sheet is time stained and there is some mount staining along the upper and lower edges. There are a few, very small spots of foxing in places. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
