Condition
Executed on white wove paper: boxes 1,2,4, and 5 are executed in ink by Dali and box 3 is printed. The sheet is laid down onto the artist's mount, and is very slightly undulated in places, inherent to the artist's process. The artist's mount is slightly time-stained and there is some scattered foxing on the image sheet. There are some scratches and minor spots of paper skinning to the centre of the extreme upper edge of the image sheet. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
