Condition

This vibrant Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. The rich array of colors are saturated and there is no apparent fading. In high raking light, minor surface scuffs, scratches, fingerprints, and small disturbances to the glossy surface are visible but do not detract from the overall fine print quality.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
