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.

In addition to or in elaboration of the catalogue entry:
- remargined on all sides, with the borderline skilfully redrawn in pen and ink
- the spot on the tip of the man's jerkin probably erased
- two flattened creases across the sheet, one vertical and one horizontal
- a couple of pale stains on the man's feet and occasional, very pale pinpoint stains
- the Metropolitan duplicate stamp verso slightly showing through the chest of the man recto
Otherwise as described in the catalogue and in good condition.
