Rudolph J. Krudop, The Netherlands

The sheet is hinged to the mount with Japanese tape along all four edges on the reverse. There is scattered staining at the edges where old glue stains on the reverse have seeped through the sheet, particularly the left edge, but this is mostly confined to the margins. There are a couple of other scattered stains within the composition. The Rudolph J. Krudop collector's stamp on the reverse shows faintly through the sheet in the lower left corner. There is a light layer of surface dirt. Held behind Perspex in a white wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
