Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper and lower edges are deckled; the upper edge has been partially reinforced with paper. The extreme edges are lightly mat stained. There are a few small repaired tears and losses, predominantly along the lower edge (the longest of which is approx. 2.5cm) and there are some further smaller nicks and losses in places to the extreme edges, minor and not visually distracting. There are two flattened creases to the centre of the right edge and a few faint spots of foxing in places. There is some adhesive residue along all four edges to the verso. This work is in overall good condition.
