Condition
The sheet is attached to the mount with two tabs along the upper horizontal edge. The collaged elements appear sound and securely attached. The edge of the sheet that the collaged elements are adhered to is deckled, and slightly uneven in the upper right quadrant, which is thought to be in keeping with the Artist's materials. Some of the adhesive has discoloured slightly. There are some light specks of surface dirt and further staining in places. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is float mounted onto a backing card and presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass. There are some very small specks of foxing to the backing card.
