Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached along all four edges to a card, in such a way so that the edges of the recto are visible, as well as the central part of the verso. The edges are floating in the overmount. There is a tiny crease to the centre of the upper edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
