3 unique large-format Polaroid Polacolor prints, each signed, titled, and dated in ink in the margin, 1982 (3)

These Polacolor prints are in generally excellent condition. The colors remain rich and saturated, with no apparent fading. Opera in General I - In the lower left quadrant of the image, there is a 1½-inch circular raised area. The lower left margin corner is bent. Opera in General III - The upper and lower margin edges are unevenly trimmed, as is customary with large-format Polaroid prints. Opera in General IV - There is a ¾-inch band along the upper edge of the image that exhibits a slight color shift, perhaps the result of being previously matted. The upper margin edge is unevenly trimmed, as is customary with large-format Polaroid prints.
