Condition

While these gelatin silver prints have not been examined out of their frames, they appear to be in generally excellent condition. When examined closely in raking light, very faint scratches are occasionally visible, likely a result of mounting. There is very minor soiling on the reverse of each mount. Left panel only: there is a very small loss to lower left corner of the frame's Plexiglas.
