More Information

The pictures are all framed under glass and have not been removed for inspection. The paint surfaces show the odd small area of foxing and the occasional light stain. The colours are reasonably bright, but are likely to have faded somewhat over time. The paper on some shows a ripple across the surface and some age-related darkening. The mounts show foxing, age related darkening, and on some a slight ripple across the surface. The frames are structurally sound but show age-related wear including scuffs, scratching finishes and losses to moulded details.
