Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, glued to the mount at all four edges and floating in the mount. The sheet is time-struck and there are a few spots of foxing in places around the moon. The right edge is slightly unevenly cut, there is a tiny crease to the lower right corner and the sheet is slightly undulating.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
