Condition
Overall good condition. The Patten Apple and Bennett Apple plates have old binding tears to the left edge from when they were removed from the book. The other two unframed chromolithographs have expected age wear across, but no further wear or restoration visible under blacklight. Under the frame, the Pollock Avocado plate appears to have previous binding tears to the left edge, as well. The other two have expected age wear visible across, however no further wear or restoration is visible across any of them under blacklight. Please see photos.
