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 intervals on the reverse. There is a tiny black media accretion at the lower centre of the right extreme edge. There is some extremely minor creasing to the lower left and right corner tips, and a light shallow crease to the left side of the lower extreme edge.
