Condition

Window mounted and laid down on board. The current mount is attached to the edge of the sheet and as such covers a small proportion of the four edges. There is what appears to be some feint staining to the centre of the sheet, possibly caused by a stain to the verso. There are areas of minor surface dirt but the medium is generally fresh throughout.
