- lithograph in colors
Condition
Generally very good overall condition. Some light overall fading. The sheet is in two sections as is expected with a Mucha print of this size. Each sheet has very faint old creases when they were previously folded into quarters. There is a very minor surface loss to the upper sheet where the vertical and horizontal creases meet. It is not overtly apparent upon casual inspection. The sheets are backed with linen which has discolored in places and has some aspects of the print, notably the lettering bleed through. The surface of the print is completely unaffected by the discoloration to the linen backing. The sheet measures 68 1/4 x 23 inches.
