These photographs are on double-weight paper with a glossy surface. A few small scratches and impressions that do not appear to break the emulsion are visible upon very close examination on some of the images. The margins are age-darkened, lightly soiled, and worn with occasional chipping along the edges. The glassine envelope is worn overall, and torn along a fold.
