Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are two areas where the surface of the mount has been unobtrusively abraded which are located in the top left and bottom left boarders of the mount. The fine diagonal line abrasion in the top boarder ends at the edge of the lithograph and does not extend into the image. Framed under glass.
