More Information

All four prints are framed under glass and have not been removed for inspection. All show reasonably clean and bright colours, although these will have faded somewhat over time. The Goldfinch, Grosbeak and Bunting prints all show reasonably even darkening of the paper, the Grosbeak and the Bunting being the darkest. The Yellow Warbler shows more patchy darkening, with pale areas along the top edge and a pale stripe to the upper left quadrant of the image.
