Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the margins tend more towards a cream tone in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are two irregularities in the margin of the second work that appear to be original to the printing process; one to the upper right corner and one to the centre of the left edge. The paper appears to have discoloured slightly.
