Condition

This group of works is in good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. Three of the works present spots of dark accretions along the extreme upper edges of the sheet; these spots do not interfere with the overall compositions. On the Introduction folio, minor rust-colored stains are present surrounding the staples in the binding, and an additional vertical area of dark accretion is present along the binding, measuring approximately two inches in length.
