Condition
The work has been compromised and conserved. The sheet has been folded at 4 roughly equal vertical intervals resulting in hard creases. These have been reinforced with tape on the verso; it is possible that some of the areas of the creases were actually torn through. The 4 folds/tears are apparent when viewing both the recto and verso of the work. The work is ready to hang. No further conservation is recommended.
