Nathalie Karg, Ltd., New York, 1997

Not all of these 32 slightly warm-toned prints, on drawing paper with deckled edges, have been examined out of their frames; however, those that have, numbers 1 and 16, appear to be in generally excellent condition. No. 5 - There is a small, soft handling crease in the lower right quadrant. No. 19 - There is a tiny, rust-colored pinpoint deposit in the upper right margin edge, possibly foxing, that does not affect the print. There is also a 1/4-inch linear deposit of indeterminate nature at the lower edge of the print. No. 20 - There are 2 pinpoint rust-colored deposits in the lower left margin corner, possibly foxing, that do not affect the print. No. 32 - There is faint, slightly yellow discoloration at the right margin edge. This does not appear to affect the photograph.
