Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The upper and lower edges of the sheet are deckled. There is minimal evidence of foxing. There appear to be some scattered losses to the silver leaf. There is a large soft crease extending diagonally through the sheet. Additionally, there are fine flattened creases throughout. From the reverse, the paper appears to have darkened with age. The sheet is hinged to the matte along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
