Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. There is very minor foxing in places and handling marks to the left and right edges. There is a small repaired tear to the lower part of the right edge and another small nick to the lower part of the left edge. There is some paper skinning to the centre of the upper edge of the verso. Overall this work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is less pink in the original.
