There is some mount staining to the sheet along the extreme edges (not visible when framed) with a few areas of slight foxing along the upper edge. Colours are very slightly fainted. The edges are deckled. There is a 2 cm vertical tear to the left part of the upper edge, not visible when framed, probably from previous mounting, which can be easily repaired. Apart from a few specks of foxing in places, this work is in very good condition.
