Condition
This work has been removed from a notebook and the upper edge presents with tiny tears to the margin inherent to the removal. There is brown adhesive tape to the underside on the upper left and lower right corners. The tape elements have stained the paper on the front, as visible on the catalogue illustration. The paper presents with a few stains, located above the back of the rhino, right below the ear and below one front leg, as visible on the catalogue illustration. The paper is very slightly warped throughout, consistent with age and use. The upper edge presents a horizontal folding all along at approximately 4/5 cm from the top.
