Condition Report:
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and attached to the mount at all four corners. The upper, lower, and left edges are very slightly uneven, and there is a small paper loss to the left part of the upper edge and one to the upper part of the left edge, both of which might well have been inherent to the sheet at the time of execution. The sheet is slightly time-stained, and there a few scattered spots of foxing. There is a tiny nick to the right part of the upper edge, one to the upper part of the left edge, and one to the centre of the right edge. There is a minor diagonal crease to the upper right and lower left corners. The sheet is very slightly undulated in places and there are some tape remnants to the verso. This work is in overall good condition.

Condition 11 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers (Online Only) is not applicable to this lot.
