Numbered and signed "21/30 Kelly" in pencil l.c., publisher's and copyright dry stamps l.r., identified on a label from The Harcus Gallery, Boston, affixed to the backing. Lithograph on paper, image size 31 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (80.5 x 19.0 cm),framed.

The sheet measures 36 x 25 inches. The frame is constructed with a central stretcher bar that precludes removing the print in its entirety without destroying the frame, but in opening the corner l.r., we can determine that the work is not hinged at the bottom, and is stamped on the verso (see images). The water staining is extremely minor. There are no other visible issues to report.
