The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


This lot is located in Philadelphia.

Condition
Framed: 41 1/4 x 31 1/4 x 1 1/2 in.Matted together in one frame.In overall good condition. Each drawing is laid down on all four corners to a larger, and thicker piece of yardstick paper, itself affixed to the larger undermat via paper hinges along the top outer edge of the sheets. The top center drawing, along with the bottom left and bottom right ones are laid down directly on board. Slight abrasions along said boards are visible, along with various remnants of old staining. We also notice the edges are not even. Each paper is generally toned, some more wrinkly than others (likely due to the mounting). Paperwise, and save a couple of exceptions, most edges are even and straight, with all corners intact. With spotted, localized surface soiling, foxing marks and discoloration, as well as marks from old mounting/hinge strips. No evident sign of restoration across the works. Additional images available upon request.
