拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall in very good condition with wear commensurate with age and use.

Please note that photographs in this sale are drawn from a variety of sources and include photographs used to prepare press articles. Condition will vary from lot to lot but some photographs may display signs of further handling including, but not limited to:

Nicks to edges; fading or yellowing; slight warping and creasing; light scruffs or scratches; small tears to margins; handwritten annotations in pencil or ink; captions affixed to verso; staining to verso; affixed labels or stickers; occasional hand retouching to press photographs, and cropped margins. Most of these will be discernible from the catalogue images.

In elaboration of the above:

Two losses to the edge of the right margin on recto (5 cm. & 4 cm.), the latter with a thin paper strip adhered over the loss. The image unaffected.

The department would be delighted to be in touch with you for advice on how to display or store photos. Please contact us for further images or comments on condition.
