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 faint discolouration. Faint creases, mostly along the edges and to the lower left corner. Pinpoint foxing and faint handling marks occasionally on the surface. Minor tears at the right upper right edge and lower edge. On the reverse, the condition is consistent with the aforementioned condition observed on the front. Faint traces of paper consolidation to the corners. Cappellin's seal and reference number 271. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition.
