There is a noticeable amount of authentic, golden-brown silver mirroring (silvering) and minor chemical oxidation across the lower surface of the prints (most visible on the Atkinson photo). This is a natural aging process of mid-century silver gelatin emulsion and serves as undeniable chemical proof of their 1950s/1960s age. They have not been chemically cleaned or altered to preserve their integrity.Reverse: The handwritten ink and pencil notes remain perfectly legible. Edges and corners show light handling wear consistent with archive storage.📦 Shipping & Handling:The set will be kept completely intact and shipped flat in a heavy-duty, board-backed \"Do Not Bend\" envelope with internal protective sleeves to prevent any transit damage.
