Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the glossy nature of the surface visible in the original. The second print from the left tends more towards a soft minty green in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some of the sheets undulate slightly. Visible only when examined out of their frame, a small number of the prints have light humidity stains in the margins to the extreme outer edges, not affecting the main image.
