Features highly detailed pinpricking throughout the chandeliers. No tears or punctures to the tissue.
• 6 Mid-Tier Cards: Good to very good condition with strong backlit colors (including deep reds, golds, and blues). No significant damage to the inner tissue windows.
• 3 Lower-Tier Cards: Includes the mountain landscape and two architectural views. These show visible tears, punctures, or splits in the translucent tissue layers as shown in the backlit photos.
• Mounts: Traditional cardboard window-cut mounts (10 yellow, 1 light green). Expect typical edge wear, light soil, and age-related toning consistent with 19th-century photography ephemera.
