N/A. (N/A). 1. 10 prints are mentioned on the sides of the folder but there are only 8 in here. The folder has lots of folds and tears and the like. The prints have some stain and marks. They are very nicely done however and would look good framed which was probably the intent. As they were originally done in 1886 I'm guessing this reproduction was done in 1986 as a 100 year anniversary? 2. Not sure when the print was done but looks great with some foxing throughout and some general marks. Repeats the damage seen on the original held in Sydney Living Museums - http://cavrep.com.au/P/prefabricatedbuildings1890GoodSmith.pdf. Also doesn't repeat all the pages but folds out into 8 with some Glass, Pottery and woodwork shown. An interesting item. 3. Heavy foxing and stain on the album. The cards however look to be in great shape, no doubt there is some stain and marks on them but we haven't had a super close look. Nice complete set in an original album. Some handy hints amongst these too. (also some we probably couldn't recommend!). Estimate: $50-100
