Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone is tends more towards soft cream and the orange towards neon in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very light wear to the extreme corner tips of the card with some light undulation. There is very faint discolouration in places to the card and collaged elements, notably where tape has been applied.
