Condition

Executed on cream wove card, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the over-mount along the upper edge where there is a thin remnant of old tape. The sheet is slightly wavy and the reverse is lightly textured. A close inspection reveals two thin creases to the upper left and right-most collage forms and some faint old glue stains surrounding the collage elements which are almost certainly inherent to the artistic process. Apart from some light time staining, this work is in very good original condition.
