Physical characteristics and technical requirements
Print on the box reads: ‘Open only in a ruby light’. There is evidence that the emulsion is fading causing some image loss. Interleaving tissue has been placed between the plates in the box. Damage has been caused by contact between the plates and due to previous poor storage.
