More Information
The collection shows significant signs of age and poor storage throughout. Heavy foxing and brown spotting are particularly evident across the paper surface of the 'Typhoon' print (photos 3 and 4) and the 'Mustang' print (photo 5). There is general toning and browning to the paper of all prints, and some fading to the original colours is visible. The mounts show surface dust and minor scuffing to the edges. The wooden frames remain structurally sound but exhibit minor surface wear.
