Ink notations in margin. Otherwise excellent. Standing Tree – 'Exhibit Print' stamp. Some slight cracking of the emulsion under the clear surface layer. Trees in Grove – the color in this print seems somewhat muted Tree Branch in Waterfall – some faint fingerprints on clear glossy surface layer, visible only in high raking light
