Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the grey sheets tend more towards a blue/green and the purple sheets tends more towards a light violet in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is individually framed and is attached to the backing board at intervals on the reverse. All the sheets are slightly undulating and there is scattered light wear in places. There is further wear with associated creasing, small losses and discolouration to some of the outer edges of the sheets, most notably to the green sheets. All other surface imperfections and light outline creases appear to be original.
