Condition
These photographs, on semi-glossy, double-weight paper, are in overall excellent condition. There are a few very soft handling creases on each print, including a more significant crease running diagonally across the upper right corner of each that appears to break the emulsion. There are smaller, minor creases at the lower right margin corner of 'Susan (pregnant') and at the upper left margin corner of 'Susan (with baby).' The upper margin edge of each print is gently waved.
The reverse of each is faintly soiled in a few areas.
