I had the greatest pleasure viewing a major show of Erwitts work at a chateau 
in France.   The work was some of the best I have ever seen without a doubt, 
combining humour and pathos through his keen eye.   

But what a disappointment a number of the display prints were quality wise.   
One print, behind glass, had a large gash across the surface, and several 
others were creased badly or had badly soiled mounts.
