Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although they are not as contrasted in the original work. The frames are a little loose due to the nails on the sides coming loose. Traces of rust on the frames are inherent to the medium. The works are very dusty. Tape residue has slid into the frame between the glass and the photographs in some cases. This work is in original condition.
