拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Wear, rubbing, surface scratches, scuffs and a few losses are scattered to the frames. Minor wear, creasing, handling marks, handling indents, a few small tears and rubbing are occasional to the sheets. The sheets have shifted in tone. A small spot of skinning is to the lower right corner of the sheet with the figure frowning in the brown frame. Drying cracks are to the right edge in a white painted passage to the image with the jug and a fibrous accretion is to the lower left corner. Artist's pinholes are to the center right edge, lower right corner and center left edge of the image with the figure smiling. A small loss is to the center lower extreme edge of the sheet with the figure frowning with words below. Three staples are visible to the upper edge and a pinpoint protrusion is to the upper right corner of the image with the figure towards the bottom half of the sheet. Visible under close inspection, two pinpoint drip accretions are to the upper right edge of the found photograph image. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
