Condition
Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places. Very close inspection reveals signs of historic framing along all four edges, most notably to the extreme lower edge. Further very close inspection reveals very fine creases throughout, one of which has a tiny associated tear to the upper right hand corner tip.
