Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount along the extreme edges. There are a few nicks and small paper losses along the extreme edges (not visible when framed). There are two repaired tears (the longest of which is approx. 2 cm long) to the centre and to the right part of upper edge. There is a dark media mark towards the upper right corner. The ink of the inscriptions appears to have slightly faded. There is some minor mount staining with associated light abrasion along the extreme edges. The sheet is light stained with a few scattered dots of foxing. This work is in fairly good condition.
