Condition
Executed on cream laid paper with a 'J-Annonay' watermark., not laid down. The upper edge is perforated and slightly irregular. There are remnants of framer's tape visible along the upper edge. Apart from some light time-staining and two tiny spots of foxing, this work is in very good original condition.
