These chromogenic prints are in generally excellent condition. The colors remain saturated, without any apparent fading. Dad with Raft - In raking light, a deposit of retouching near the sitter's elbow and a tiny matte deposit in the left portion of the image are visible. Dad on Boat - In raking light, a soft crescent-shaped crease is visible near the left edge of the image. This does not break the emulsion. The reverse of each print is affixed to a window mat with tape at the upper corners.
