Condition report:
The engraving shows a crisp impression with fine detail. There is visible light toning to the paper and scattered foxing consistent with age, primarily concentrated in the sky area and the margins. The hand-colouring remains clear. The modern frame is in good condition with minor surface scuffs. The print has not been examined out of the frame.
