This portfolio is in generally excellent condition. The margins are somewhat darkened along the edges, as well as in a thin band around the images. There are a few fingerprints in some of the margins. Each print bears several inventory numbers written in pencil in an unidentified hand on the reverse.

The portfolio case is heavily worn and discolored. The flaps have separated from the portfolio. The leather ties are very brittle.
