The print is framed under glass and has not been removed for inspection. The print shows age-related darkening to the paper and probable fading to the colours. The canvas backing is not taut on the stretcher, resulting a broad ripple across the sheet. The lower margin shows some staining throughout. The frame is structurally sound, but shows ingrained dirt, wear and chipping to the gilt finish throughout. The glass shows a crack to the lower right corner. There appears to be some dust or similar trapped between the glass and the print surface.
