a group of 4 unique Polaroid SX-70 prints, comprising Cherubs, Interior of Mission San Xavier del Bac; Rusted Blue Metal; Orange Flowers; and Red Rock, one with a typewritten data label affixed to the margin, each inscribed with technical data in ink and one stamped 'Exhibit Print' on the reverse, one framed, 1972-73 (Polaroid Land Photography, pp. 102, 103, and 269, variants) (4)
Condition
The photographs are: Cherubs, Interior of Mission San Xavier del Bac; Rusted Blue Metal; Orange Flowers; and Red Rock.
These SX-70s are all in essentially excellent condition and have retained their color. When examined closely in raking light, minor scuffs and fine lines can be seen on the glossy surface layers, as is typical of SX-70 prints. These flaws are unobtrusive and do not detract from the charm of these small colorful prints.
