Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to convey the iridescent nature of the banknote's watermarks visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each banknote is attached verso to the mount in all four corners. The slight undulation and handling marks on each banknote are in keeping with the artist's choice of medium.
