Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in the top two corners. There is some slight undulation to the sheets. Close inspection reveals some tape residue that is visible in the top register of the work, which relates to the tape on the verso that joins the two pieces of paper together. Extremely close inspection reveals a tiny crease to the lower left hand corner tip.
