Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones in the original, and the overall is slightly warmer.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some light undulation to the sheets. Very close inspection reveals a small number of minor and unobtrusive handling creases to the extreme corner tips and in a few isolated places along the extreme outer places. Extremely close inspection in raking light reveals a very small number of minute, short and unobtrusive surface scratches in a few isolated places.
