Limited Edition "High Tide and Wild Swans" Signed Proof by Sir Peter Scott 1936

Condition: Used

Condition Notes: The print is in excellent vintage condition for its age, especially considering it's nearly 90 years old. There is some minor foxing (age-related brown spots) on the outer matting, as well as a few small marks on the frame, consistent with its age. However, the print itself and the signed proof remain in very good condition, with the colors still clear and vibrant. The frame is in good, solid condition.
