Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the foam core in the several places and undulates slightly. The upper edge is irregularly torn from a spiral ring binder. There are a few faint handling creases and small media accretions in isolated places, which are possibly original.
