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.

The sheet is laid down on a piece of thick card. There is a loss to the lower left corner (approx. 3 x 1¹⁄₂ in.) and the lower edge of the sheet (approx. 1 in. along) has previously been folded. There is another loss to the lower right corner. The upper left and right hand edges have several nicks and tears to the edges (overmounted). There is a damp stain along the lower right hand edge (approximately 10 in.). There is also two vertical creases running the length of the sheet, where it has previously been folded.
There is scattered foxing, surface dirt and some silverfish damage throughout the sheet and a further damp stain running down the centre of the sheet. The penwork remains strong.
