Condition
Each print is fixed at the four corners to a thin sheet of (old) paper and then to dark green card. The mounting on dark green card seems to be typical for works from Yvan Christ's collection.
The first print has quite strong contrasts, with three tears of approx. 1 cm at the right edge and a fold in the upper right corner. The second print is quite faded but otherwise in good condition, with a small tear of approx. 3 mm at the lower edge at left.
