Condition
Hinge mounted to an old decorative mount. There is a light brown stain to the left of the volcano and some smaller light brown stains to the right. There is some very minor buckling to the sheet as a result of the way it has been hinged to its decorative mount and evidence of some slight surface dirt throughout. The medium remains strong and vibrant throughout this impressive sheet. Sold in a giltwood frame.
