Condition
In very good condition. Recto: some very faint fox marks are barely visible below the figure. Some of the natural fibers in the sheets have darkened slightly. Verso: some minor fading and some loss to the topmost layer of the sheet's fibers around the extreme edges (probably from a prior mount). Taped along the top edge into a window mount. Some old fox marks on the verso show evidence of treatment and are only slightly visible in strong light. Otherwise fine.
