Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards white and there is less contrast in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged in several places along the edges to the mount. All four edges of the sheets are deckled. Very close inspection reveals some very light and unobtrusive creases to the sheet. i. Linda: Close inspection reveals some minute and faint spots of media accretion in isolated places to the figure's hair.
