Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down. The sheet is hinged to the overmount at two points along the verso of the upper edge. The edges are deckled and slightly uneven. The sheet is very lightly time-stained with a few studio marks on the verso. Remnants of an old mount are visible on the verso of the corners and at the centre of the upper and lower edges. This work is in very good overall condition.
