Condition

Although these prints have not been examined out of their frames, they appear to be in generally excellent condition. The colors remain rich and saturated, with no apparent fading. The text panel is in generally very good condition. The text is sealed between foamcore and Plexiglas. There are 6 small rust-colored areas on the mount, likely where adhesive from previously affixed pieces of tape has yellowed.
