This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream laid paper. The sheet has been hinged toward the upper left and upper right corners of its verso. The left and bottom edges are deckled, and the top and right edges are cut. There is a 1/2 inch tear in the lower right corner on the bottom edge. This may be inherent to the work. There is a single pindot area of skinning to the center of the right edge.
