Condition
Executed on cream Kataster paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge and floating in its mount. The sheet is lightly time-stained. The left edge is unevenly cut and the upper edge is deckled. There are some flattened creases along the upper edge, likely inherent to the paper. There are some very minor spots of foxing to the background of the sheet, notably to the upper right and lower left corners. This work is in overall very good condition.
