The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The edges are slightly deckled with tears and faint discolouration. Minor foxing, handling marks and abrasions occasionally on the surface. A few negligible hairline creases are visible, mostly towards the edges and the corners. On the reverse, the condition is consistent with the aforementioned condition observed on the front. Faint traces of paper consolidation to the lower right edge. One area of faint abrasion to the lower right corner. Cappellin's seal and reference number 173. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition.
