The sheet is hinged at two points along the upper edge (verso). The left edge is uneven.


There is some wear to all four outer edges and corners. There is some discreet paper skinning to the lower left centre. There are some soft handling creases to the sheet. The sheet has darkened slightly and there are some very discreet scattered spots of surface dirt visible.


In our opinion, the work presents well.
