Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on cardboard which is affixed at intermittent points to the mount and floating in the mount. The laid down process is original. There is a pinhole to the paper towards the right part of the upper edge. The extreme edges are scuffed with a few small tears and nicks. There are glue remnants with associated minor paper loss to the extreme edges. The sheet is light stained. There are some slight abrasion to the upper part of both right and left edges and to the 'V' of the signature. The sheet is slightly undulating, relating to the laid down process. This work is in fairly good condition.
