. Relatively light time staining across the sheet. There is an amount of essentially sporadic medium to small sized foxing spots across the paper. It would seem as if some of the foxing spots i.e upper margin left of raised hat, lower right hand corner and lower margin right of centre, has had a chalk white paint or gouache added to the surface, potentially to disguise some of the foxing spots. There is a small nick which permeates the sheet lower margin left of centre approx 0.5cm from outer edge. Overall colour depth remains reasonable but some vibrancy has been lost. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.
