Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the overmount at the upper two corners. The lower and right edges are deckled. There are some minor foxing marks on the reverse. There is some light discolouration to the lower corners, possibly due to previous mounting. Overall this work is in very good condition.
