Condition
"Baume" has not been examined outside the shrink wrap but appears to be in very good condition save minor crease marks and minute tears to the peripheries that do not impact the imagery. The untitled fruit poster has an intended centerfold, minor creases and stains here and there as shown, and a few minute tears to the peripheries. There are some collection notes handwritten in pencil at the lower margins of each poster.
