Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso in several places. There is some evidence of discolouration to the sheet and some evidence of previous mounting to the upper edge of the sheet. Very close inspection reveals a tiny dog ear to the bottom right hand corner.
