Original printed thin cardstock covers (some edgewear and creasing to edges); lithographs are in near fine to fine condition (tiny pinholes at corners of some lithographs; old short tape strips on verso of some images, not sure the reason as there are no tears in the paper).

Tomo II includes images of costumes from Santa Maria Chiquimula; San Pedro Sacatepequez - San Marcos; San Juan Sacatepequez; Palin; Nebaj; and Chichicastenango.
