Condition

This work appears to be in very good condition overall. The photographs appear in good and sound condition. There are scattered spot nuances on the surface which appear to be inherent to the emulsion process. The passages of vinyl paint also appear to be in very fine condition with no visible cracks or losses. The photos are framed behind Plexiglas. The original artist's frame shows signs of wear particularly at the corners.
