Condition
Executed on card. The corners show wear. Some small scratches on the right side show restoration which is visible to the naked eye. The peach colour sheet was laid down somewhat unevenly and shows some creasing on the upper right. Otherwise irregularities on the board are likely original to the artists working process.
Colours: The catalogue illustration is a bit dark overall.
