Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Several pages have deckled edges and there are minute spots of foxing, small areas of discoloration, and a few very small areas of general wear consistent with the work's age in places throughout. There are some minor tears and creases to the separate outer glassine dust-jacket.
