Condition
Executed on cream card, not laid down. The card is fixed to the over-mount along the upper and lower edges. There are remnants of an old mount on the reverse. A close inspection reveals some faint spots of foxing, mostly towards the upper and left edges as well as a tiny shallow dent to the surface of the card towards the centre of the top edge and a minor nick to the upper edge of the card which is not visible when framed. Apart from some very light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
