Executed on cream colored wove paper, not laid down. Sheet is sandwiched between plexi and affixed to the back plexi pane at two places on the top edge on verso. This method of mounting the work allows for the inscription to be visible when framed. Sheet undulates slightly. The corners of the sheet are rounded. Remnants from a prior mounting are visible on the verso of the sheet and slightly visible in one or two places through the sheet on the recto. One small soft crease near the center of the left edge. Sheet is slightly dirty. Otherwise fine. Overall this work is in very good condition.
