Condition

The colours have remained fresh, strong and clear. There are several areas of minor pigment loss, particularly at the upper left and right hand corners of the sheet, however these defects can only be seen on close inspection. Along the extreme edges of the sheet there are some very minor paper losses, however again these losses do not effect the main image. Overall the condition is good.
