Condition

The lot is globally in good condition. Most of the drawings on tracing paper have small chips missing and small tears by the borders ; some drawings were previously folded on the edges, and sometimes in the middle. Two drawings have squared up lines that were traced in red ink, which ran a bit on the sides (visible in the catalogue). Small nail holes are scattered on the surface. One has partially faded. Some drawings are a little bit dirty.
