Condition

These photographs are all in generally excellent condition. 'Julius Caesar' has a small, sharp handling crease near the right edge of the print. The white leatherette clamshell box is lined in red velvet. The upper left and lower right corners of the box are slightly bumped and creased, and there are three small dents at the periphery--two at the left side, front, and one at the lower edge on the reverse.
