Condition

With full margins, in good condition, all unframed. Plates a and b each have a small abraded area in the margins (possibly inherent to the production), infrequent surface soiling on the portfolio cover. (Plate d and e have a subtle darker tone in a box around the central image, this appears to be inherent to the inking and printing and not a condition defect.)
