Condition

The photographic element is partially glued onto a sheet of card laid down on board. There is a further secondary card which is not visible when framed attached on the lower edge and one on the right edge. There are glue remnants on all extreme edges. There are some tiny spots of medium loss to the thicker gouache. The photograph is very gently undulating with some tiny scuffs and minor creases consistent with the handling and laying down. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
