Condition

These prints, on double weight, semi-glossy paper, are in overall excellent condition. The margin is very slightly darker where it has been covered by the window mat. Under close examination in raking light, there are a few scattered deposits of original retouching. The photograph featuring a man's head at the center is sealed within its mat, apparently due to contact from water as the mat features a significant tide-line. The image itself does not appear to be affected.
