Additional Description

Frame, glazing, mat, and backboards discarded

Originally both prints were hung in a single gold frame, glazed, matted, and hung with with a thick metal wire. The 3-dimensional image was positioned above the birds-eye plan. A mat was fitted with each image in a respective window. The lower left corner of the mat had text that read "CHARLES M. FINLEY RECREATIONAL CENTER [/] Philadelphia, PA" printed in black ink. The lower right corner of the mat had text that read "SULLIVAN ARFAA, P.C. [/] Architects/Planners" printed in black ink. Both images were adhered to respective back boards.

The hanging was found in a storage closet with the glazing shattered. Glass fragments had adhered to the adhesive on the back of the mat. The adhesive on the mat and backboards was discolored and staining the images. Upon removal, remnants of the backboards remained adhered to the images' respective verso and was removed via scraping with an exacto knife. Slight adhesive residue on the edges of each images' recto was removed as well using the same method.
