Condition
Executed on one side of a folded sheet of graph paper, extracted from a notebook and not laid down. The lower half of the sheet is hinged to the mount at two points along the upper edge. A close inpsection reveals a tiny flattened crease along the lower edge, towards the lower left corner which is not visible when framed. Apart from some minor time-staining, mostly along the edges, and a few scattered faint spots of foxing, this work is in very good original condition.
