Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing board in all four corners. Each sheet undulates slightly. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners of each sheet. The left hand vertical edge of each sheet is deckled. Very close inspection reveals a very short and unobtrusive crease with a tiny associated tear to the extreme upper centre of the right hand edge.
