The portfolio is quite tatty to the outer edges with surface dirt and foxing in places, especially to the spine and outer edges. The cover page has some slight time staining and small sized foxing spots throughout and handling marks, especially to the reverse. The cover to the text also has some slight time staining and foxing but the pages of text themselves are generally in good order. The portfolio is complete. Some of the cases for the prints have slight time staining and the odd minor foxing spot but most are in good order and each of the prints inside appears in good condition. See additional images.
