Condition

Executed on cream wove paper not laid down, attached to the mount in the top two and lower right corners. There are numerous nicks and tears to the right edge, possibly caused by the sheet having been torn from a notebook- therefore the right edge is stabilised with a band of brown tape to the reverse's edge. Apart from a 1in. tear to the left of the bottom edge and some time-staining to all four edges, this work is in fairly good condition.
