The original tracing paper ? which the print is on has been lined onto Japanese tissue paper to reinforce or repair damage, to the naked eye there is obvious indication of this, but after very close inspection there appears to have been a slight tear on the right hand side as there is a very slight variation in colour in the print and would seem likely. The Japanese tissue is in surplus and overlaps over the paper and around the edges. The print is secured onto the mount with gum strips on overlap. In generally good condition, some fading to the green which is evident when out of the frame as the overlap shows are more emerald green as opposed to the lime shade showing in the sight size.
