Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. All collage elements are stable and intact. There is evidence of light wear to the edges and corners of the Masonite. A light dust has settled between the plastic and fabric layers. The Masonite is laid down to a backing board and therefore the reverse has not been inspected. Framed under Plexiglas.

Framed dimension: 21 1/2 by 16 7/8 in. (54.6 by 42.7 cm)
