This work has not been examined unframed. The sheet is mounted to the backing board at the corner tips and undulates slightly. The upper edge of the sheet is deckled. A few handling indents and soft creases are occasional to the sheet. The encyclopedia pages have shifted slightly in tone, and very minor wear is to the corner tips and extreme edges, some likely in keeping with the artist's working method and mounting process.
