Condition report:

Picture has slipped in the frame, revealing that the paper supported is bonded to a backboard along the top edge and probably at all other sides, the top edge and left hand corner are quite rough and nibbled. There is evidence of some insect infestation beneath the glass, with small flies evident on the mount. Some slight undulation to the surface, the colours with a little fading, and apparent discolouration to the lettering on the ship. There are a some abrasions to the surface throughout, but this appears consistent with the artist's technique. Otherwise in good order.
