Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and attached to the backing board at the upper two corners and the lower right corner. The tape has made faint square marks on the recto, visible in the printed catalogue.The lower and upper edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there are some scattered faint spots of foxing predominately to the lower left quadrant. There is a repaired tear (approx. 2cm. long) to the upper part of the left edge with some light associated creasing, and there is light creasing throughout the sheet. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a light clean.
