  • Condition: All 20 lithographs are included, some with minor creases at peripheries, but the images are still vivid. The folded insert has two minor tears to the margins, but the text - including the page stamped #339 and signed and dated by Montenegro - is well-preserved. The canvas hard cover shows some wear and discoloration, but is in overall good condition.
