Condition
These prints are in generally very good condition. There is minor edge chipping at the prints' periphery, which does not affect the images, and the corners are bumped or creased. On the reverse of both prints, 'AS - 31' and '1248/13' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil. A numerical stamp is also partially visible and reads '3 781.'
