It is believed that no more than 30 copies of this portfolio were signed by the photographer prior to his death. This complete portfolio of 15 photographs is in generally excellent condition. When examined closely in high raking light, the following are visible on some of the plates: occasional handling creases that do not appear to break the emulsion and extremely faint silvering in the darkest areas of the image at the periphery. Some of the margins are very gently rippled. The plates are as follows: John F. Kennedy, Democratic National Convention, Los Angeles, 1960 Marilyn Monroe, "Seven Year Itch" set, New York City, 1955: On the reverse are 2 minor abrasions.
