Physical condition
The photographs are in poor condition. They were received adhered to acidic paper (possibly excerpted from an album). The prints are discoloured, brittle, warped, and cracked, with corners and edges missing in some cases. Remains of the acidic paper and glue exist on photograph verso. Many of the prints were covered in a significant amount of masking tape, which has been removed.
