Condition

The print is generally in good condition as catalogued. There is mottled foxing throughout the margins, including clusters of darker foxing along the upper and lower sheet edges, in the upper and lower right sheet corners and in the middle of the right sheet edge. Exposure to light and an acidic mount has darkened the paper tone overall. There is off-setting from Art d'Aujourd'hui on the verso.
