Condition
Executed on a thick wove paper, extracted from a book, which is fixed to a mount at multiple points around the perimeter of the sheet. There is a slight waviness to the sheet. There are remnants of old framer's tape visible around the perimeter of the verso. The sheet is lightly time-darkened and there is some minor wear to the extreme perimeter, including a small tear along the upper edge, probably due to an old mount.
