Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards ivory in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount at several places on the reverse. There is some very slight creasing to the top left and right corners. There is a small light brown discolouration spot to the left of the top of the left column (partially visible in the catalogue illustration). The lower edge is lifting very slightly.
