Condition

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, glued to the overmount along all four edges. There are remnants of tape to the the upper left corner of the verso and towards the centre right of the upper edge of the verso. There is some overall scatttered foxing to the sheet and some light surface dirt. There is some discolouration to all four edges, probably due to an acid overmount which could be removed by a restorer. Overall this work is in fair condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the paper tone is darker in the original.
