Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the dark blue is slightly richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing sheet along the upper edge and undulates slightly. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of tiny spots of discolouration in isolated places, which is in keeping with the natural ageing process of the paper.
