CONDITION DETAILS
Good overall condition.
The slipcases have some wear, discolouration due to age, with a few stains, curved boards and loose paper. Of the 100 prints, all of which are accounted for, there are a few small accretions (some of which may be attributed to the printing process), light discolouration and remnants of hinging on the 10 previously framed prints. The other prints still in their slipcases are in very good overall condition.
A full condition report for all the prints will be provided upon request.
