Condition_report : Colour: the colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. There are artist's pin holes to all four corners and along the top edge of each sheet. Extremely close inspection reveals a few tiny dog ears and associated creases to some of the extreme corner tips.
