These Polaroids are in generally excellent condition. SX-70 prints - As is typical of such Polaroid prints, occasional unevenness in the overall glossy surface is visible. These prints are signed and dated in pencil in the margin. Large-format Polacolor print (Woman with Outstretched Arm) - The color remains rich and saturated, with no apparent fading. As is typical of such Polaroid prints, the upper and lower margin edges are unevenly trimmed. This print is signed and dated in ink on the reverse.
