Condition
The full sheet. An extremely unobtrusive, 1/4 inch, horizontal, stray pencil(?) mark near the lower edge of the lower right quadrant (possibly as issued), visible only in raking light. A few minute flecks of stray yellow pigment, also near the lower edge of the lower right quadrant, presumably inherent in the printing process. The thick sheet of handmade paper is framed floating, tipped to the back mat in various places from the sheet's verso.

Framed under glass: 29 1/2 x 38 1/4 x 1 1/2 in.
Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
