Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation in the sheet, most notably at the top right corner. There are scattered surface accretions most noticeably at the following locations: the first is located 11 1/2 inches from the left edge and 3/4 inches from the top edge, the second is 6 1/2 inches from the left edge along the bottom edge and lastly, the third is 18 3/4 inches from the left edge along the bottom edge which are presumably the results of adhesive residue from previous matte. The sheet has also yellowed slightly with age particularly along the edges. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte. Framed under glass.
