But this worn-out concern stinks most damnably: tis true, a great deal of dirty work has been done in it and it was only stuff at first:—it now emits more smoke than flame; yet I can distinguish a magic picture through this volume of vapour.

It is in fairly good antique condition. The hand colouring (with watercolour washes) is original to the issue of this print.  The work has never been on display so the colours are all nice and fresh.
