Condition report:
John Dray print: the paper is cockled throughout and discoloured. There is a large prominent crease running vertically down the centre and corresponding smaller creases either side, and a few very small tears in this central section caused by the creasing. Other light scattered creases throughout. Some scattered dots of foxing, some quite dark. Light surface dirt and thunder bugs under the glass.
Other prints and photographs: some of the prints are discoloured, others with scattered spots of foxing. Two of the photographs appear to have sections painted over.
