Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, taped to the over-mount along the upper edge. The sheet is time-struck and there is some scattered foxing in places. There is some discolouration to the upper edge, due to the glue remnants on the verso. The foxing and discolouration could be easily removed. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: paper tone slightly warmer in the original, compared with the printed catalogue.
