Comments on Condition
There are a few small areas of foxing, largely in the margins. There is one extremely small bit of foxing in the upper left in the image which is nearly invisible. The full sheet size is 35 3/4 x 25 5/16 inches, trimmed slightly from the original 38 x 26 inch size. The colours are fresh and bright, with the paper discolouration largely affecting the margins.
