Condition
These early prints, on single-weight paper with glossy surfaces, are in generally good to very good condition. There are two small tears at the lower edge of 'Standridge' (1/8- and 1/2-inch). The edges are rubbed and the corners bumbed. When examined in raking light, scratches, creases, indentations, and what appear to be small deposits of original retouching on the surface are visible.
