Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is faintly lightstruck overall, but the colors remain vibrant and the media layer is stable. A very faint one-inch circular area of rust-colored discoloration is present in the extreme upper left corner of the sheet. A few minor pinpoint spots of foxing are scattered around the extreme edges of the sheet, but do not interfere with the central composition. On the reverse, the sheet has been reinforced around all edges with a 1/2 inch band of cardboard, and along the uppermost edge with a band of fabric tape.
