Condition
Hinge mounted. The sheet is laid down on to a thin sheet of japan paper. There are some old creases to the sheet, notably running vertically down the right side. The sheet has somewhat discoloured with areas of minor foxing and surface dirt throughout. The ink medium is still relatively fresh though it has begun to somewhat sink into the sheet in certain areas. Sold in a partially painted wooden frame.
