There are some minor spots of foxing mainly towards the lower edge and towards the upper right corner. There is some discoloration to all four edges due to previous mounting and some slight fading to the colors. This work is in overall good condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue although the paper tone is warmer in person.
