Condition

Please note that this work is framed, and has not been examined outside of the frame. There seems to be very minor wear upon close inspection to all four corners of the work. Please note that the work exhibits a slight bend/warp, particularly to the centre left and right edges where the hinges have been used to attach the photograph to the mount board. Upon very close inspection, the outline of the hinges can be seen on the recto. Overall the work appears to be in good condition.
