Condition

Executed on cream colored card, not laid down. The sheet is affixed to a mount at various points on the verso. It is floating in its mount. There are some minor flattened creases in the upper left and upper and lower right corners. Some surface abrasion along the upper edge, appears to be due to removal of old framer tape. Otherwise, apart from some time darkening and scattered spots of foxing, this work is in good condition.
