Condition
Executed on cream wove paper laid down on paper. Top edge appears to have additional strip of reinforcing paper between sheets. Half centimeter mat stain around perimeter of sheet with two small surface stains/scuffs at the center of the left edge and a tiny loss at the extreme lower right corner due to an artist's pinhole. Sheet is somewhat time darkened overall but line remains extremely strong. Apart from a few other scattered pindot stains and scuffs, the work is in good condition.
