Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and t-hinged to the mount at the upper two corners. The sheet is slightly light-struck and there are two small areas of staining to the extreme upper edge, relating to a previous mounting. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: the paper tone is much lighter in the original, compared to the printed catalogue.
