Condition
The sheet is fully laid down on paper.A remnant of adhesive to the upper left edge. A small repaired tear (approx. 0.5cm) to the right lower edge. There are mount staining and light mount rubbing to the outer edges. The sheet has darkened within a historic mount, and the pigments have faded slightly as a result. Spots of water staining to the outer margins. Some small, scattered spots of foxing are visible.In our opinion, the work presents well.
