Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection.

The work has a number of small fox marks visible in the margins and minor crimps to some deckles (see images) as previously mentioned. Given it's very large size of the sheet the work has not been removed from its frame, as it would require a large team working closely together to do so without risking damage to the work.
The frame is 49 1/4 x 84 1/2 x 2 3/4 in.
