Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper two corners and floating in the mount. The lower edge is deckled and there are a few nicks to the upper edge of the sheet. There is a spot of foxing towards the centre of the right edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: overall much lighter and fresher in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration, as the work has been successfully cleaned since the catalogue went to press.
