Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the sheet is brighter in the original work. There are two pinholes in each of the four corners. The top and right edges present some very minor wears. There are two creases along the right edge, visible under close inspection. There is a light faint stain on the rim of the upper edge by the right corner, slightly visible in the catalogue illustration. This work is in very good condition.
