Condition
This work is in overall fair condition. Although there are no tears or paper losses to the sheet, the paper is mounted sporadically to a 1/4" thick acidic masonite panel support. Moderate to severe vertical undulations where the paper is lifting from the masonite suggests the paper has come in contact with water which loosened the adhesive and also contributed moderate water stains and tide marks around the perimeter of each undulation (as visible in the catalogue illustration). Overall the medium appears stable and does not show signs of paint loss or fading, however.
