Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the lower right image is actually the largest sheet, and has more yellow undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Inspection in raking light reveals a vertical crease towards the right half of the composition of the large image, as well as an air bubble underneath the print to the lower right corner. Two of the smaller images have discoloured slightly.
