Condition Report:
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

While only the right image has been examined out of the frame, these prints appear to be in generally good condition. The colors are faded overall with a distinct band of more saturated color where the print was covered by the overmat. Visible under raking light are occasional fingerprints in the margins. There is a torn red circular sticker in the lower margin.
