Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. Extremely close inspection reveals some tiny spots of foxing in isolated places and some discolouration to the glue, which is in keeping with the natural ageing process of the media.
