Condition Report
The print is an etching, framed under glazing - not examined external to the frame. The sheet appears in overall good condition - no obvious tears, creases or losses. There is some minor ageing (yellowing) to the sheet around the edges. The full margins are visible and the platemark edges clearly defined. It is signed and dated to the lower right and numbered in pencil to the lower left. The print appears crisp and well preserved. There are some potential beginnings of foxing in the margins- sparsly distributed and faint - but otherwise fine. The glass has dirt and some accretions between the glass and print. The frame has some dents to the edges and general wear and tear.
