Physical characteristics and technical requirements
Housed in a near-contemporary wooden frame. The frame-backing is comprised of cuttings from a nineteenth-century newspaper to give support. The glass panel is not securely attached to the frame. There is also significant dust and dirt accumulations to the frame and backing-support. Very careful manual handling is required.
