Condition
Executed on cream-colored laid paper which has been affixed to a mount at two places on the top edge of its verso. The sheet is a little time-darkened and mat-staining is visible to the extreme perimeter, some at the corners the result of contact with acidic materials. The ink is strong and unabraded. The left and right edges are deckled and adhesive has stained the top corners. There are a few extremely weak spots of foxing (one at upper right, one at upper left and one at lower center). There are no tears or losses. Overall the work is in very good condition.
