Condition
This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream graph paper, not laid down. Each sheet has traces of tape to the reverse. Each sheet has light uniform time staining commensurate with age and some minor waving to corners due to handling. The left sheet has a minor handling crease to the upper left corner. There is what appears to be minor foxing throughout each sheet, which does not detract from the overall appearance of the work.
