Condition:
All photographs in this portfolio, reproduced through the courtesy of Magnum Photos, are well-preserved, fresh and flawless. Introduction plate with little stains at the bottom left corner of the front, rearside flawless. LP record looks fresh and flawless (but i am not an expert), LP record sleeve a bit yellowed and used. Portfolio with various trace of use; rubbed at the corners and at the edges, teared at the spine (but still strong), small missing parts at the bottom and at the top of the spine. Overall very good condition (LP record and the photo plates very fine).

Fantastic, unknown Magnum project from the 60ties (!), so from the beginning time of the very famous photo agency - VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY.
