Condition

This unique collage is in generally excellent condition. The colors are rich and saturated, with no signs of fading. The reverse of each Polaroid is hinged at the upper and lower corners to a mount. As is commonly seen on Polaroid SX-70 prints, there are very faint scuffs and hairline surface scratches on several of the images as a result of processing.
