Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing mount at intervals on the reverse. There is very light time staining along all four extreme edges and some very faint handling creases along the horizontal edges. The top edge of the sheet is slightly uneven.
