Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The upper and lower extreme edges are very slightly uneven. There is some very light mount staining to the edges of the sheet. There are some light creases throughout the sheet, most prominently to the lower right corner and extreme lower edge. There is a small area of staining to the upper left corner, visible in the catalogue illustration and probably the result of a tape remnant on the verso. There is a tiny speck of studio dirt to the upper left corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
