Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the paper is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the sheet along the top edge to the backing board and undulates slightly. All four edges are slightly unevenly cut. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute dogear to the extreme left hand corner tip. Further extremely close inspection reveals a few minute specks of foxing in isolated places.
