Pencil on paper. Examined out of the frame. The sheet is presented in a window mount and is secured to a supporting, non acidic board across the reverse upper sheet edge. The sheet is slightly discoloured, corresponding to a previous acidic housing. There is an artist's pinhole in each corner, of which only the lower left is visible when framed. On close inspection, the sheet is very slightly cockled. Under close examination, there is some minor surface dirt. Subject to the above, this work appears to be in very good overall condition.
