Condition: Pale staining and/or fox mark to right margin, not examined out of frame.

The work cannot be removed from its frame as doing so will preclude re-assembly. The visible margins are about t\2 inches (so the visible sheet size is 15 1/4 x 18 1/2 inches). The image size includes the embossed mark surrounding the main image. The size of the chine collé is 10 9/16 x 13 3/4 in. This is from the edition without text.
