The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONDITION REPORT WAS PREPARED BY DEBORAH BATES, AN
INDEPENDENT WORKS ON PAPER CONSERVATOR UNCONDITIONAL AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE
The primary support, a tinted paper adhered by its top edge to an acidic window mount, is in very good condition.
The sheet is, however, affected by significant planar distortion, caused probably by the manner of execution
although perhaps exacerbated by environment and/or the adhesion along the top edge. There has also been
some tone change and slight pigment fading, as evidenced at the outer edges. However, the design layer reads
extremely well with excellent contrast and definition.
The work is in excellent overall order.
