Print presents well. The condition of the work is consistent with its age. Mild toning throughout the sheet. Mild to moderate accretions throughout the sheets appearing heaviest on extreme edges likely due to handling. A few mild marks and spots of foxing throughout, do not appear to majorly impact image. Mild handling dents throughout sheets. A few small areas of thinning to the sheet/holes in center and left sheets; some repaired without inpainting. Sheets appear to have been trimmed along lower edge partially cutting off the artist's seal on prints. Evidence of the sheets having been previously attached to one another or placed in an album along verso edges. Unframed.
