(Baptist Training) CongressLocation: Canton, MississippiEra/Date: October 6, 1928Condition Report:Overall State: This item is pre-owned and shows age-appropriate vintage character.Details: Photo is original, and not a reprint. I has yellowed some, but for 100yrs old, it is in good condition. The photo was/is mounted to a thin cardboard I can only assume to keep flat, display, and protect from being rolled, ripped, etc. Other than age appropriate condition, there are no major stains on the photo. Bottom right corner looks like both the mount and photograph were briefly bent, but effected the photo very little. The surface remains glossy and clear. The people remain clear and detailed.
The cardboard mount is in poor condition.
Overall, good condition.Please look closely at all photos for exact condition details, and inbox me with any questions.Thanks for looking!
