In order of the images:
The Palace of St. Cloud - some rippling and rubbing noticeable within the sky area, the margins are hidden.
Wings of Fontainebleau - good condition, some very minor faint foxing, margins cannot be seen.
View of the Great Fishpond at Fontainebleau - the condition is good, very light staining. The margins cannot be seen.
Representations of the Actions in the Siege of a Place - noticeable foxing within the sky area, therefore may be present throughout the print. The margins cannot be seen.
Royal Hospital, Chelsea - some rubbing and foxing in the sky area, rubbing upper right corner. Some foxing in the lower part of the print.
Twickenham - some noticeable staining within the sky area.
All are similarly framed, they are not all the same size. The frames have small knocks and abrasions. As you can see the backs are sealed so we are unable to determine whether any of these prints are stuck to a board. The odd one or two do look slightly rippled.
