Condition
All prints are set in custom mattes. Most show slight toning, commensurate with age. A few show nicks, losses, and/or tears to peripheries - most that do not impact the images. Only "Tobogganing" has one tear that affects about a quarter inch of the image, but others do not impact the images.
