Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red tend more towards a raspberry and the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original.
Condition:
The sheet is attached to the backing mount at the top two corners on the reverse. The top edge of the sheet is uneven. There is a light, shallow handling crease towards the centre of the right edge, and another towards the lower left corner. There is a transparent media accretion towards the centre on the extreme top edge, and a few further unobtrusive spots just beneath this.
