Condition Report

Two circular hole punches to the sheet 2cm from the edge of the image and half-way down on both sides, possibly from the time of execution as they are at the centre of a cross that is part of the lithograph. Marks to the sheet along all edges consistent with this being well-handled. Some transfer of ink from the plate to the margins. Some discolouration to the sheet on the right margin, with two small areas of foxing emerging in the lower-right corner and top third of the right margin. Some burring the paper on the right margin and just above the hole punch on the left edge. Please see extra images for more detail. The image itself is bright and bold, with no obvious condition issues.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!

Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
