Condition
Executed on tracing paper, laid down on paper and t-hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The lower edge is unevenly cut. The sheet is time-stained. There is a flattened crease across the upper right corner (approx. 8cm. long) and some smaller fine creases to the sheet in places, most prominently to the lower left corner. There are tiny irregularities to the sheet surface, possibly occurring during the laying-down process, and tape remnants to the verso of the sheet along the upper edge and to the lower two corners. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
