These photographs are in generally excellent condition, except as noted below: Stalin E Morto: Along the lower edge of the image, there is a 1¼-inch crescent-shaped crease that appears to break the emulsion. Carriage: In the upper left quadrant of the image, there is a tiny gray deposit of indeterminate nature. Two chairs: Along the lower edge of the image, there is a tiny light-brown adhesion of indeterminate nature. Mesh window: In the upper left quadrant of the image, there are two small soft handling creases. Cloth covered car: Along the center of the left edge of the image, there is a small soft handling crease. Light bulb: In the lower left quadrant of the image, there is a particle trapped in the emulsion, which likely occurred during processing. This portfolio is lacking the printed title/colophon/plate list. The clamshell box is in generally excellent condition. There are a few stray gray marks on the cover. The photograph on the cover is lifting at the corners, and there is minor edge chipping along the lower edge of the print.
