4.14.26- In my opinion regarding LOT: please note that I am not an expert on such prints, the work is executed on Arches paper and is presented as a signed and numbered edition, the sheet is overall intact with no evidence of loss or restoration observed, it is hinged along the top edge with an adhesive strip, possibly archival tape, the sheet may have been trimmed as there are very slight variations to the sheet size visible along either side of the margins, however I am unsure, please see images for reference, the sheet is toned exhibiting only a few scattered minute spots and light areas of handling wear, the image remains crisp with strong color, all consistent with age, handling, and display Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
