Condition

Executed on cream chine volant paper. T-hinged to a mount at two places along the verso at the top of the sheet. The sheet is a bit dirty and time-darkened, with some faint staining to the perimeter, most noticeable at the upper right corner. There are two diagonal creases toward the upper right corner, a very strong crease running horizontally and inch from the bottom of the sheet but not interfering with the composition; two further faint creases running horizontal extend from the extreme right edge near the center of the composition. There is a very minor nick to the sheet at the extreme bottom right corner. There are repaired pinholes at each of the four corners. Overall the work is in generally good condition.
