Condition

This work is in good condition overall and the electronic components are in working order. Some of the individual frames appear slightly loose, and some of the tape adhering the individual images to the back of the frames is drying and peeling, which appears inherent to the medium. There is some light oxidation to the metal frames. Each photograph is framed under glass.
