In 2016 a portfolio with 12 platinum-palladium prints was published again in an edition of 20 (+2 A.P.).

2 prints with light traces of colour (probably due to the process or the matting) in the white margin (outside the image), the photograph on the case slightly loosened, tiny paper abrasion at the bottom. The portfolio slightly cracked at the top of spine/front hinge, slightly rubbed at the edges. Overall in very good condition.
