All four edges are deckled and there are some paper remnants to the extreme edges of the verso, from a previous mounting. The sheet is slightly time-struck and there is a small area of pale staining to the lower left corner (visible in the catalogue illustration). Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
