The catalogue illustration has cropped the bottom edge, including the signature, by approximately 1.5cm. Condition: This work is in good condition. Executed on crem wove paper and hinged to the backing board in all four corners on the reverse. There is an extremely faint handling mark towards the bottom right corner and a further few above the wrench. There are a few very light handling creases scattered in places throughout the composition. There is a very light diagonal crease towards the upper right of the composition.
