-The two sheet of calligraphy were previously mounted and merged adjacently to form one art piece, and signs of merging can be found. Signs of restoration can be found, where there appears to be paper losses at lower right and paper cracks at lower left and upper left previously. Light creases can be found on the calligraphy, which can be improved by restoration. Otherwise, generally in good condition.
"In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

註：本幅所錄〈毛公鼎銘〉、〈南公鼎銘〉及〈兮伯盤銘〉，前兩者皆未為全篇，以此觀之，似為四屏散佚，今存其二，後藏者合裱為一。

上述三件青銅重器，清末分藏於陳介褀「十鐘山房」、潘祖蔭「攀古樓」，即使秘不示人，吳清卿皆有緣得其拓本或目遇原器，蓋為金石同好。本幅寫於愙齋獲授道員，留京未赴任前，應「鶴峰」之囑而寫，雖未悉其身份，惟稱曰「灋家」，且以逾五百小字寫滿六尺鉅幅以應，耗費精力足堪想像，從中可推知應同屬好古之士。
