Condition Report
Sealed in a perspex box-type frame, the lot has not been inspected out of the frame. Paper appears to be good overall, possibly some slight discolouration, and possibly a foxing mark between the legs, other areas appear to be spots of watercolour. Insect deposits near the signature. Perspex has some scratches and would benefit from cleaning.
