Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheets are deckled. There are some scattered white spots, which appear to be the result of the printing process. Some of the sheets are faintly creased in the upper left corner, which is visible under raking light and is possibly the result of the hinge. Each sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Each framed separately under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
