The sheets show evidence of having been previously stuck in some form of scrapbook- the four corners show evidence of adhesive to the verso of the sheet. The sheets appear in good overall condition- no obvious losses, tears or issues- a few have minor creases to the corners but not extending into the paintings. There is some general ageing (yellowing) to the sheets in some cases, usually concentrated around the edges- likely from handling. A few examples have some minor and sparsely distributed foxing. The colours are well preserved and bright, no obvious fading or paint loss. The surfaces appear to be stable.
