Acquired from the above by the parents of the present owners in 1985

Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge and floating in the mount. The lower edge is deckled and the other three edges are slightly unevenly cut. There are pinholes to both lower corners. There are two tiny tears (both approx. 3mm long) to the lower left corner, a few scattered spots of foxing in places and three small scuffs to the surface of the sheet along the left edge. The sheet is slightly time-stained (predominately to the left part of the sheet) and is gently undulating. This work is in overall good condition.
