Condition
Each etching on sheet with four deckled edges exhibiting minor rippling to edges commensurate with limited handling. Works apparently stored within clamshell with topmost work exhibiting even toning overall and the underlying stack of works exhibiting markedly less toning. Works likely never framed or otherwise mounted. Colophon with toning and rippling, vertical tears along seams to binding edge, and the back sheet verso with the halo/remnant of an owl created by the storage of a woodblock print within the clamshell case (this halo also present to interior back of clamshell). Clamshell with apparent water staining, discoloration, and toning, but structurally sound with apparently original tie to side.
