Condition Report:
Please note the colour and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

This print, on matte surface paper, is in generally excellent condition. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: a small soft crease in the lower portion of the image; a few very faint linear rubbings in the upper portion of the image; and a few, nearly imperceptible, fingerprints near the upper and lower edges. The signature is slightly smudged. The sheet is gently rippled and there is minor margin edge and corner wear.

The reverse is slightly soiled. 'WCA'; and '34 [circled]' are written in pencil in unidentified hands. '157 [underlined]' is written in red pencil in an unidentified hand. There is a small label and two strips of adhesive on the reverse, which is affixed to a mat with two hinges along the upper edge.
