The box is somewhat rubbed at the extremities, and there are small rectangular adhesive remains from what must have been a small sticker at the upper right corner of the front cover. Issues relating to individual prints are as follows. Hungarian Landscape, Sunset, Country Accident, and Forced March - The specks that are visible in these prints are due to dust or imperfections in the negatives and are not defects in the prints themselves. Bocskay Tér - There is a slight wave in the paper. Swing - In raking light, several small, faint transparent deposits, possibly glass offsetting, are visible in the upper portion of the print. These do not affect the print's appearance.
