Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The paper, due to the artist's technique, somewhat undulated and with slightly uneven time staining. The paper sheets on the reverse joined together vertically with packing tape; here the edges somewhat brittle. The paper here recto somewhat faded due to the adhesive backing.
