Condition
Executed on thick beige paper which has been hinged to a mount at multiple places at the top edge of the verso. A very minor mat stain is visible to the most outer perimeter and the sheet is very slightly time-darkened. Several pinholes dot the extreme perimeter and there are multiple minor nicks and two minor losses associated on the extreme right edge. These do not interfere with the composition. The verso bears a couple inscribed numbers and words as well as remnants of tape from a previous mounting along the top edge. Overall the work is in very good condition.
