Condition
Please note that this work has not been examined outside of its frame. All six dictionary pages exhibit minor discoloration, particularly to the top edge of each page where they have been taped down. This is consistent with the nature and age of this material. There is a very light folding crease to the bottom right hand corner of the top left, top right, lower centre and lower right dictionary pages. This work has been fixed at its corners and appears to be in good original condition.
