Negative Prints

Physical description:
Fair condition, several photos are marked with white marker for editing, have labels or marks explaining different cuts, placements, zooms, etc. for the yearbook layout. Most photos have glue residue on the back if they have come off the layout designs while the images that are still connected are very friable and at great risk for coming off the layouts completely.
