Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The photographs are mounted to their respective backing boards. Only visible under very close inspection and raking light, there are a few, very faint unobtrusive surface scratches and some dust accumulation within the frames. The plastic plaques show evidence of very minor wear and handling. Each of the photographs is framed under Plexiglas.
