Condition
Examined within their frames, these works are in very good condition overall. Mounted at four corners. Gentle yellowing of paper is consistent with work's age and deckled edges are inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Visible upon close inspection are occasional light creases and scarce pinpoint foxing along the edges and margins. A horizontal and a diagonal crease are noted to the lower left quadrant and center bottom edge of (i) respectively. Framed under plexiglass.
