Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed in the upper corners and in the centre of the left and right edges. The left edge is perforated and the right edge is uneven with one tiny spot of foxing. A flattened crease runs horizontally near the bottom of the sheet and there is also some minor creasing towards the top, otherwise this work is in overall good original condition.
