Condition
Executed on the first two pages of Picasso by J. A. Gaya Nuño, Barcelona, 1957. The left page is bound at its right edge and the right page is bound at its left edge. A crease is visible near the extreme upper interior corners of each page. The lower right corner of the right hand page cures upwards. Three possible losses in the thickest pigment (in the shoulder of the torreador and the shoulder of the bull) although these may be inherent to the artist's process. Sheets may be slightly time darkened overall, otherwise fine. Overall this work is in very good condition.
