Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the mount at two points along the top edge and is floating in the over-mount. The left edge is slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals two small nicks to the edge of the sheet in the lower right corner. There is a faint flattened crease running vertically parallel to the upper left edge. There is a spot of minor surface abrasion in the upper left quadrant, in the hatched area. Apart from some light time-staining, and scattered spots of faint foxing, this work is in very good condition.
