#141267Both are framed under glass and have not been examined outside the frames. The engravings appear to show slight toning and minute areas of foxing; colors and imagery are strong; text is legible. Frames show a few nicks to peripheries, but are otherwise very good. Slight water stains to gallery paper on verso of "The Bridge of Nanking" but the engraving does not appear to have been affected.Condition
