Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. There is a tiny repair at the extreme lower edge of the sheet. There is some slight skinning to the edges of the verso, probably as a result of removing hinging tape. Otherwise, this work is in good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the original is overall less orange.
