Executed on cream wove paper which has not been laid down. There are traces of old tape to the reverse of the upper right and upper left corners. There are pinholes to all four corners. There are three extremely faint vertical indentations located at regular intervals along the lower edge (each measuring 1 1/2 inches in length). There is a very light mat stain along the periphery of the sheet. There are a small number of very minor pinhead sized foxing scattered throughout the sheet. There is a light uniform time fading to the sheet commensurate with age. The work is in very good condition.
