Condition

Although these chromogenic prints have not been examined out of their frames, they appear to be in generally excellent condition. The colors remain rich and saturated with no signs of fading. There are a few faint scuffs and scratches visible under very close examination. These minor issues do not affect the overall impressive quality of this series.
