Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. There is paper support running along all four edges that is attached to the mount in the top two corners. The right and left edges are uneven. There is a 4cm. repaired tear with associated infill at the left of the upper edge. There is a very small flattened crease and a nailhead sized area of paper skinning at the right of the lower edge. There is a small diagonal flattened crease across the upper right corner. Apart from some light foxing, mainly in the left half, two minor knicks to the centre of the left edge and some light studio dirt, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: The paper tone is brighter and the blacks are less brown in the original than in the printed catalogue.
