Please note that the copies that we make and sell, even when digitally restored, may bear some traces (including some degree of fading) of the condition of the originals in our possession which are over 200 years old. They are usually visible on the images we provide in the product description. If you prefer, we can have this monochrome print printed in black and white so as to eliminate any colouring due to fading by selecting Black&White option (rather than Original).
