Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer with the white tending more towards pure white in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the electronic movement of the elements apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition and is in full working order. On close examination there are a few small abrasions scattered along the lower edge. There are a few small rub marks and spots of surface dirt at the top of the left edge, to the left side edge and in places to the right side edge. Some superficial dust fibres have accumulated between the elements.
