Literature

Condition
The print shows careful signs of retouching, notably in the removing of a military roundel from the aircraft, and in the delicate highlighting in white wax crayon of the line of waves breaking toward the camera at centre left. The surface has been very lightly rubbed in several places, and the board is a little tired. Overall condition nonetheless very good.
