This complete suite of Orr's North Carolina etchings is extremely rare and only exists fully in several public and private collections. This is the second time a complete set has been offered at auction, the first being another suite that was sold through Leland Little Auctions in 2013.

All appear to be in very fine condition, some with minor light foxing, toning, or cockling; one print examined out of frame, where some foxing marks are visible to sheet recto.
