Condition
The 7 compositions in this sequence have not been examined out of their frames, however, they appear to be in generally excellent condition. Each composition comprises several variously-sized zinc-plate prints. Small circular deposits of adhesive on the reverse of the prints are visible in the corners of the white areas on a few of the prints. There is very occasional wrinkling and a few small tears that have been laid down. Upon close examination on the signed panel, a 2-inch band of light foxing is visible along the lower edge of the mount. Very occasional and faint evidence of foxing is visible at the edges of a few of the other mounts.
