Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the orange is much brighter and more vibrant, and the catalogue illustration fails to convey the changing nature of the animation visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition and full working order. Extremely close inspection reveals a few shallow and thin, unobtrusive scratches in places to the metal frame, as well as a few minute nicks to the extreme edges.
