Both prints are in their original frames and suffer from similar signs of ageing.
Associate Game - paper suffers from heavy undulation and damp discolouration which runs through most of the work and only starts to fade away near the extreme edges of the sheet, also with some light foxing scattered around the edges, perhaps a tiny 3mm tear at the extreme left at 9 o'clock but no other physical damage note.
The other print similarly undulating with paper discolouration and foxing, has slipped in the frame but still retains full margins, clearly both prints require some restoration and stabilising, however both are good honest original examples. Under glass in the original oak frames with gilt slips, no labels verso.
