Condition
A group of 9 early gelatin silver prints. 3 prints are mounted to thin board, and signed and dated in pencil on the mount. 3 have the photographer's credit or studio stamp on the reverse. One has a date and annotation in pencil on the reverse.
Overall, the photographs are in generally good condition, with some age-appropriate silvering visible in raking light. All prints have some minor surface imperfections, none of which are overly distracting. There is minor wear to the edges of all prints, and there are occasional handling creases, some of which break the emulsion.
The mounts are somewhat age-darkened and lightly soiled on the front and back.
