Lot 26

This work has some minor foxing.
There appears to be light scratch lines on the paper surface from a sharp object, mainly in the centre of the work, and in various directions. They don't appear to have cut through the paper, however this work has not been inspected out of the frame to confirm. However, we do not believe that these detract from the overall enjoyment of the work.
There appears to be some slight cockling of the paper which would suggest that the work has not been laid down, however, the work has not been inspected out of the frame to confirm.
The colours appear strong, and therefore it is our understanding that the work is not faded.
The signature in the lower right corner has faded, consistent with the print's age.
The work is framed, and the frame has various scratches, wear and staining. It is our recommendation that the work be reframed.
