3 pieces

Overall good condition. Minor dust accumulation and occasional specks of grime commensurate with age on both the gelatin silver print and the original paper wrapper. Minor handling creases throughout the paper wrapper. The first with the mat board slightly bent along the lower edge, at center. Mounted to the mat board as issued.

Unframed Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
